What can I do?

I'm 33 weeks and lately I've been getting real bad chest pain and I've been running out of breathe what should I? Is that normal?

I had the same issue. My doctor told me to get on all fours for a few minutes and since the baby hangs there in a sense it will take the pressure off of your lungs and loosens things up a bit. I tried it and it worked wonders!

Baby might be sitting high and compressing your lungs a bit? Try not to exert yourself so much that you have trouble breathing. If you're concerned, talk to your doctor.
