Tightness in chest

I'm 38+5, and for the past week every now and again I have this feeling of tightness in my chest like I can't take a full breath. It has only happened when lying or sitting down so far, and doesn't seem to be connected to anything else. After a minute or two it passes. It's not really causing me any discomfort, but do you think it is something to worry about? My next midwife appointment is a week away..

I get this as well (39+1)... I thought it was because of everything being pushed up and squashed :). Don't think it's anything to be alarmed by... I get it mainly when lying down or not sitting comfortably :)

Yep, I get it too. I make a polite request that the baby moves away from my lungs. Eventually it goes away.

Ok, phew! Glad it's not just me. I tried to look it up, but couldn't find that symptom mentioned anywhere!
