  Same here!  I have trouble reading my kids bedtime stories, I sound like a fat old lady trying to catch my breath.  And turning over/getting comfortable in bed?  Forget about it!  After I finish rearranging my 25 pillows, I'm gasping for air.  Ridiculous.

  I hear ya!!!  You should hear me try to sing to my son at night before bed.  I sound like a poor drowning woman gasping for air!

  All your organs are being squished.  Your lungs probably have some pressure being placed on them.

  Here this might help. It shows how things shift during pregnancy.

  I get out of breath talking on the phone, or walking from one side of our house to the other!  I have to sit down also, especially if I'm carrying laundry.  So annoying!

  This is me!  To make matters worse, we live in a three level house so I literally have to sit down to catch my breath every time I climb another flight of stairs.

  Can't wait to be able to go for a run again!
