When I lay on my back it gets kind of hard to breathe. Is that normal?

Yes and it can be bad for baby. Laying on your back forces gravity to push baby back on the line that supplies oxygen from you to your fetus and CAN kill your baby if you remain that way extendedly. Thats why the suggested sleeping position is your side.
