I am having some trouble breathing, it is hard to take a breath and I feel like I am not getting enough oxygen . Also when I have the urge to pee I go sit down and it is hard to actually go.

hello there
Since you have history of pulmonary embolism and on treatment with lovenox, developing sympotoms of chest pain and shortness of breath despite medication is alarming.
I suggest you meet your physician at the earliest for re evaluation and also see your gynecologist.
At 32weeks maximum cardiovascular changes occur in pregnancy and so it might be that your lovenox dose is now being inadequate as per your requirements or a fresh site of embolism is developing.
take care
