shortness of breath

For the past few days I have been having shortness of breath. I cant stand for more than 10 min without feeling exhausted and sometimes even when Im sitting down I still cant seem to catch my breath. Any of you ladies experience this? Should I been worried about oxygen supply to my baby? Im 27wks 5days

oh and no you shouldn't worry unless your doctor is concerned because your baby is getting enough oxygen if you are

It's normal I asked my doctor and he said when we breath out the lungs can't go all the way down cuz of the baby pushing on them.  But that we are still getting all the oxygen we need.

Baby is starting to put more pressure on your lungs. It's normal and sadly it'll get worse until they drop
