Dr. David Kam answered

Dyspnea: Breathing difficulty are common near term. Your markedly enlarged uterus is pressing on your diaphragm and hormonal changes related to pregnancy can lead to severe nasal congestion in some women. Sleep w/ head up 30 degrees may help. See ENT if severe nasal congestion.
