Iam on week 30 and I was concerned about the same thing . its because we are further along and pur babies are getting bigger and only have a small area to move in our bellies that they often put pressure on our lungs. I can just bend over feel winded you aren't alone or crazy and I feel your pain. For me iam most comfy standing and laying down. Even sitting makes it hard to breath if iam sitting for a length of time.

I just started having this problem I'm 33 weeks.  Ob recommended to sit and put arms on top of my head or on my back side to open up airways.  He said baby is big and as time progresses prob will remain and be more often.

Thanks mommies

Yes!  On a regular basis.  Dr said it's most likely due to baby but a very small chance it could be a blood clot in the lungs

Yes I get it as well! I got told it's down to the extra weight and also your lungs haven't got as much room to expand so you don't take in as much oxygen as you used to with each breath x
