all these comments are right but havr you also been checked for anemia, at 27 weeks i was in hospital with extreme lung pains and shortness of breath and it turned out i was very anemic so maybe get your doctor to check for you x

My doctor said that its common, but it means your not drinking enough liquids. He said bending over helps because it takes the weight off of your lungs.

It's just baby taking up room. I was the same way, now that she's dropped a little I can breathe a little easier
