Hi I'm 17 weeks and when I lie on my left or right side I feel like my lungs / ribs are tightening and it forces me to take deep breathes ... anyone else experienced this?

I'm 26 weeks and for about 4-5 weeks have had some pain in my lower ribs, right around the bottom of my breast bone. I haven't had breathlessness but that is very common. Suggest you talk to your midwife.
