Is this normal?

Hey, I’m a first time mom, I really didn’t know where to ask this question I’ve tried to ask family and friends but they all say the same thing. I’m currently 37 weeks pregnant and I was wondering is it supposed to be this miserable towards the end? I can’t move without hurting or getting way out of breath,& I have contractions that are so bad that they make my chest hurt and they literally take my breath away... I was wondering if anyone else experienced this and if it’s normal..?
