Same here. I’m 26w3d, and I’m getting shortnes of breath quite often. Sometimes even when I’m ready for bed, and start getting shortness of breath when I first lie down. I constantly remind myself to take deep long breaths to regulate it to get out of the episode. Am intending to bring up to my gynae at my next appt though I have read that shortness of breath is normal when our baby bump gets bigger. 😊
