it may just be baby growing but i also had breathlessness and if it persists, you need to talk to your doctor, just to make sure it is not something bad

I would contact the doctor Anytime You are in doubt about the pregnancy including now.
I have felt certain pressure on my chest whilst laying down (mostly) in the last couple of months but if you are worried contact your doctor
