Sorry I can't offer any insight since I've just had the typical squished lungs shortness of breath. But, since you have 2 already, I'm guessing you know how that feels, plus I haven't had any problem with lying down. I hope your midwife gives you some useful info at your appointment!

I had a bit of shortness of breath around 21 weeks but only for about five days and it was when I was laying down at night.  Hmm, definitely speak to your midwife and I'm really sorry you're going through this.  :(
