Hi
I have gone thriugh your complaints.you are 40 wks pregnant.you are nearer to your delivary.its quite common to have discomfort as baby is now in full size causing pressure in your lungs when lye down for sleep.if you feeling brethless keep to lie in proped up position or lie down to side.regarding the swelling of face ,hands & foot , its due to compression of our body major vein by growing fetus.it wil reduce once you deliver the baby.these are all temporary changes and everything wil go off once you delivar the baby.tightening of stomach is there due to uterine contractions.as the baby is fully developed and the strong movements you feel because the space is less for fetus to move and these are all preparations to get right postion for delivary.dont worry its quite common to all before delivary.
Thank you
