Any trouble breathing in pregnancy is something you should discuss with your doctor or midwife. Dizziness is again something that a doctor should look into.

Why does obese people suffer from breathing difficulties?
For several reasons. Get fat enough, and it's like having a couple of sand bags draped over your chest. Each time you inhale, you have to lift that weight. If you don't breathe right, your lungs may begin to collect fluids, reducing breathing capacity even more. And some of that fat will also collect around your neck and throat where it will be pressing down on the wind pipe, again making breathing difficult. There can even be fat build up internally, putting a further squeeeze on things.
