Trouble breathing

I'm 21 weeks and I have been having heavy breathing at times.  It feels like someone is sitting on my chest.  It comes and goes, and not alarming enough to go to the hospital.  Just wondering if this is normal at this stage because baby is pushing up my organs?

I had it with my first until she dropped down.
I'm carrying lower this time and haven't had any trouble.

If mention it to your OB just so they know. Mine charts even my normal symptoms so they know what's not normal for me when my hubby calls
