Yes its horrid, midwives always say my heart rate is a little higher than they’d like but it isn’t dangerous territory

I’m scared for labor because of it

you could opt to have continuous monitoring so they can keep track of it to reassure you xx

I had this and had an ECG to be told I have an Eptopic heartbeat.. I am awaiting an appointment with a specialist. I don’t think it’s much to worry about because of how long I am waiting to be seen.
But best to contact your doctor and get checked just in case x

I had this. I had an ECG, bloods etc. All normal. The palpitations have stopped (midwife said it was common in pregnancy) but I still get a fast rapid heart rate, I make sure I’m hydrated and just do some slow breathing to try and bring it down. Always try and rest up after I have an episode but no concerns from the midwife etc

I had heart palpitations every 2 minutes and it was scary but I get them here and there in pregnancy

Prior to pregnancy I’ve always been prone to having heart palps. They suck. I go to my cardiologist regularly to reassure all is well. 14-16 week mark of pregnancy I had them EVERYDAY ALL DAY. it was honestly awful and soooo scary. Hormonal fluctuations play a big part. Make sure you keep hydrated too! It is a symptom of pregnancy but just check to make sure all is well 😊
