I only get that way if I lay on my right side. Its like my throat closes up. If I lay on my back even propped I get shortness of breath and my heart starts racing. Try some milk for the heart burn if you don't wanna rely on tums.

Yes I'm 33 weeks and have trouble breathing now too. I also have heartburn and insomnia. I'm tired just can't fall asleep. I take tums for the heartburn and works for me.

Yeah its normal I feel like that all the time, the reason is because baby is getting big and taking up a lot of space so it doesn't get better /:and heart burn just makes it worst
