hard to breathe

I'm now 32 weeks & 4 days & having problems with my breathing during sleep ... Am I the only one that gets the sensation of something heavy sitting on my chest when I'm laying down ??

Yes 32+5 DAYS when i sleep in my back its harder to breath, and my back hurts. So i turn to my left side. Since my baby prefers the right side. That way i dont put pressure on her.

Try laying more on your left side than on your back.

That would be your baby putting pressure on your lungs.
