Hello, I've been run down for a few days probably with a cold, today feels the worst so far so fingers crossed tomorrow I'll feel slightly better. I'm just abit concerned because I can feel my heart beat pounding more, feels like it's working harder today and feeling a bit out of breath at times. Has anyone else experienced this while being unwell pregnant? I'm 17w5d x

I’ve had this and been to hospital twice with panicking about it. If you’re worried, go and get it checked, i was told I’d done the right thing. There was nothing underlying or wrong further than a cold but my breathing was really affected. They also said I’d had pregnancy rhinitis which is a longer and more stressful cold without relief in pregnancy x

I also had this first time at 3 weeks and I was admitted to hospital for tests and again at 16 weeks and went to A&E as had a couple of infections my body was struggling to fight off.
It could be nothing serious (I have a family history of blood clot so they were being very careful) so don't panic but I would go and get checked.
Hope you feel better soon x
