Pregnant cat breathing fast: Is it normal or needs a vet visit?

Question

My cat is 3 week pregnant. Today I noticed that her breathing rate has increased. Is it common in pregnancy or should I take her to the vet? Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | spayed | 3 years and 3 months old | 6.6 lbs

That could be completely normal especially when the kittens are starting to grown and occupy more space, but should be an intermittent sign and if continues a check up would be ideal. If that is the case respiratory versus cardiac problems must be differentiated.
