This is also a pregnancy thing... Congrats!

Find a different position to lie in. Try your side. :)

Yes, just changing your position slightly can make a difference. Have you tried any breathing/relaxation cds? There are come great ones around. Congratulations on your pregnancy x:)

Oh wow, I didnt know you were pregnant hon! Congratulations! That's fantastic! Hehe, I'm saying congratulations to you a lot at the moment :)

I get breathing issues sometimes. It is probably due to panic/anxiety. When I'm anxious I sometimes get a sensation like I have an elastic band around my chest squeezing my lungs in. Breathing symptoms are pretty standard with anxiety...oh joy. You're ok hon. Concentrate on the good stuff :)
