OMG!!! I feel like an elephant is sitting on me!! I cant breathe deep enough. I am out of breath a lot. Especially up and down steps or picking up my 2 year old. It is normal. Baby is pressing up against every organ in your body.

yes, baby is pressing on your lungs. It will ease up (I've heard) after baby drops in a few weeks.
