At 38 weeks i was 1 cm dilated. now 39 weeks pregnant feeling shortness of breath, having cramp like pains and constipated. is this normal.

Call OB: At 39 wks the baby can definitely cause some SOB due to much less room to breathe; you may feel like you are panting because you have to take more frequent small breaths. Constipation can also be common with pregnancy for many reasons: pressure on bowels, dehydration, slower transit of stool to absorb more nutrients. However if SOB at rest and coupled with cramping, call your OB to double check.
