Hard to breathe?

I'm almost 38 weeks pregnant and I was taking a bath cuz my back was hurting and it felt like someone was squeezing me where u can still breathe but there's heaviness in your chest and between your shoulders. After my back I laid down and feels like a brick on my chest and the heavy kinda pressure /pain goes through to my shoulder blades
Anyone ever experience this ? Labor sign?
I've had a constant head ache since Tuesday and today is Sunday

Im not that far along, but since u have no comments my opinion is that ur baby is probably tucked against ur lungs or has its little foot shoved up there.
