Yes: Go to your maternal fetal unit for assessment. Once they have evaluated you they can make a better decision about how serious this is. All the best.

Yes: You need to be evaluated by your obstetrician. difficulty breathing is never something to take lightly.

Short of breath: The numbness in arm/shoulder may be related to pregnancy induced carpal tunnel although thats usually in the arm/hand. The shortness of breath bothers me - are you swollen??? This may be related to the expanding uterus pushing up on the diaphragm. Was this sudden onset? check with your OB just to be on the safe side.
