Abnormal Breathing Pattern

[Forrest T.]

I have a heavily gravid bearded dragon, Pogona; because of this, her stomach is very round and full. Her enclosure's lighting, temperature gradient, and humidity levels are near perfect, and it is cleaned daily. However, she takes very deep breaths and there is a long pause between each one. I am wondering if this is due to the pressure caused by her eggs or if it is a possible respiratory infection, which would be odd.

Thank you,
Forrest

Here is what she has asked
How long has this been happening and is it constant ? They can breathe like that at times but since she's gravid you may just be noticing it more. Can you get a video of, try for a minute or so ?

She has not been doing this long, and if she has, it's a lot more prominent now that she is gravid. Typically when she has infertile eggs, she can lay up to thirty at a time, so I can only image the amount of pressure on her organs right now.

I'm sorry, but I believe her eggs are infertile, or else I would. I'll send a picture of her instead:
