9th month pregnancy vs Covid-19?

I'm in my 9th month, short and overweight (so there's not a lot of room for baby to stretch out).

I feel like I get exhausted so easily, I can't stand and read a book to my kids (but I can sitting down), my arms feel weak when I lift them (like when I fold laundry), and I feel my heart race. I have heartburn a lot but it goes away with antacid. I feel like I have tightness around my chest (but when I took my bra off, I felt much better). And most of this hits at night - not so much during daytime hours.

I've had a cough for 4 weeks now and I still cough and sneeze a few times a day. No fever B"H. Sore throat, but we've been inside a lot and the heat is on so it's super dry.

Last Thursday I felt like I had a terrible headache, but it lasted one day and B"H I have felt fine since.

Does this sound like normal 9th month stuff, or corona? I called my doc 2 weeks ago and he said it sounded like normal 9th month stuff, but he did cancel my check-up last week b/c I told him I was still coughing.

Any insight?

Sounds like typical ninth month to me. I wouldn’t worry. The doctor is probably just being extra cautious (which he shld be) but doesn’t sound like a reason to worry.
