What Causes Feeling Of Food Struck In Throat During 39 Weeks Of Pregnancy?

I'm 39 weeks pregnant and I have a feeling of food stuck in my throat. I'm guessing this is because of the uterus compressing all my organs and pushing my food up??? Is there anything I can do to get rid of this or at least help me deal with it until the baby is born?
