girl, i have that same feeling!!!  it's awful!  fortunately for me, it didn't really bother me till about my 8th month, and now i've dropped so it's provided me with a tiny relief...but i still get full fast and have difficulty breathing at times.  what helps me is sitting on all 4s.  when i lean back, i feel like i'm going to sufficate!!

I get the same feeling. Im 31 weeks preggo and it is just one of those wonderous symptoms of having children. You are more than likely experiancing bloating, and your baby being in your ribs. As baby grows everything internally is shifting to make room for baby. Try to eat small meals several times instead of eating 3 big meals a day. Don't forget snacks in between!
