It is usual for people in their third trimester to experience such symptoms.It is usually due to the foetus pushing upwards slightly restricting your lung expansion.You can try the position you used earlier .Please check your haemoglobin levels as anaemia can also produce such symptoms.You should also check your blood pressure to rule out pregnancy induced hypertension.
