High heart rate during pregnancy
Show your support
I’ve had this also. I’m 39 weeks tomorrow. From about 30 weeks at my midwife appointments my blood pressure was high and pulse at 130. I’d get sent to the day care unit at the hospital to be monitored and they’d eventually come down. After 2 times of going in with the same thing they sent me for an ECG and showed as tachy a couple of weeks later I had a 24 hour ECG fitted and it showed I have a high pulse but no action so far during my pregnancy and I’ll need to have an echo cardiogram done but they said this will be most likely after I’ve given birth now x
Yes! I’m 30 weeks tomorrow and for the last few weeks mine hasn’t gone below about 110 at rest (baring in mind my rest before was 50’s/60’s). Went in and had a few different tests and they admitted me for a night and I’m finally picking up a 24 hour ECG on the 19th after being messed around by the hospital about it for weeks. Hoping I’ll get some answers but doubt it, I’m so uncomfortable and feel so out of breath and restricted all the time it’s horrible 😢 I would chase it asap though if you don’t hear anything as the wait time for the original ECG for me at my hospital was 15 weeks! And that was after waiting 2 weeks to chase it up when they said I’d have it within the week, they originally admitted to get it the same day but over 35 hours later I was still waiting so went home. I contacted my GP surgery who spoke to my midwife and she ordered it herself rather than through the hospital and that’s took about 3/4 weeks but obviously you’re a lot further along, I was X
Mine is super high since being pregnant. They did all sorts of tests but couldn’t find the cause. They’ve just let me continue my pregnancy as normal and said the high heart rate is due to pregnancy. I’m worried how my heart will cope during labour, it doesn’t go below 120, even when I’m asleep xx
