It’s normal in pregnancy due to increase blood flow, I’m 34 weeks & still have them now!

It can be normal, I had it first time around. My friend had the same but found she has low iron so worthwhile keeping an eye on it and speaking to your midwife if it gets unbearable.

Yeah I get this, scared me a bit at first but it’s completely normal!

I've had issues previously with eptopics, palpitations, singles, couplets, tachycardia and bradycardia but it's got worse and it's so scary!!

I keep getting hard thuds which I think is palpitations every so many minutes 😕

I have a heart scan and ecg monitor next week thankfully but it feels so awful! I get anxious and then they come even more 🙄

I had them throughout the night keeping me up and consistently all morning so far too 😬

How awful are they! Xxx

how do you cope with them? Do you ignore them and carry on? Xx

@Fliss Graham ah I will check the bloods I've had done thankyou x

may I ask if you get them alot? Xx

aw sorry to hear that, hopefully the scan and ecg will ease your anxiety🤞🏽
I just checked with my midwife and she assured me it was normal due to the extra blood as your heart can pump 10-20seconds more a minute so once I knew that it eased my anxiety and i tend to feel it less now. I also tend to get it more at night where I feel likes it going to pop out my chest🤦🏽‍♀️ do you find that?xx

Yes, mines more in the evening and through the night, I can feel my heart beating alot faster then usual and thats when they come on. Its definitely scary! I'm so worried with me only being 13 weeks of what's to come!
I had a heart scan 6 years ago that came back that my heart was structurally safe, thwy want to re check as it's been a while and things may of changed, I find I get palpitations due to hormones such as ovulation, periods and also stress so I think this pregnancy may be increasing them due to the blood flow and the hormones 😬
xxxx

yes everyday, many times! Tbh they just feel funny now, I haven’t changed anything just ignore them and carry on x

A gift for my son 4 years in the making, 14 years to go

I started this avocado tree from a seed the week my oldest was due with the idea of gifting it to him as a birthday gift for his 18th birthday. So when he’s old enough to move out he has a mature tree that hopefully can fruit.

I’ve had it in a bottle with water and fish tank water as fertilizer from the beginning and it’s still growing new length, branches, and leaves every year.

I cannot wait to give it to him when he’s older but I’m so attached to it I’ll be sad to see it go 😂

Diamonds

So I saw a post on another platform where someone was wondering why anyone would buy natural diamonds anymore since they have lab dimonds now and I commented

"I told my husband I want dinosaur poop diamonds not dog poop dimonds. lab dimonds could be made from anything natural dimonds are made from life on our planet billions of years ago and that to me makes them beautiful.
but there are businesses where you can send ashes of your loved ones and they will make you dimonds out of there ashes so I will be doing that with my 1st dog when he passes. my husband and I have also already decided that when we die he is going to be turned into dimonds and made into bracelets and im going to be turned into necklaces for our children. so they can always hold us close to them rather than just sitting in a jar or in the ground. might as well speed up the process. 😋
In my opinion the dimonds that you are able to choose what they are made out of are more special and valuable rather than dimonds that are most likely made of trash or rotting food."
