Breathing issues!

Is anyone else struggling to breath when lying down? My nose has been permanently blocked since becoming pregnant (I'm 26 weeks now) so breathing in general has been crappy as I always breath through my nose. But now when I'm lying down to go to sleep I feel like I'm being crushed!!

I know I could breath through my mouth... I do try but then my mouth gets so dry I wake up... I just can't wait to breath properly again!!!

Try propping yourself up to sleep :)

I have this too! I usually try to sit up straight with extra cushions on the sofa and have found sleeping on my side and propped up helps. I'm 28 weeks and a bit concerned how it will be when I get bigger!
