Do not quote me
But from memory i to had heart pulputations and could really feel my heart beating during pregnancy as well..

But in saying that, if she feels something is not right she needs to speak to her MW

Is she having panic attacks? I know it seems like a stupid question - but sometimes I feel like that when I'm having a panic attack.

Although I do remember last pregnancy I got a few heart palpatations - and I fainted in my first pregnancy but that was because I had low blood sugar.

Just remmebered i also fainted a few times during mine ..I would get all clamy hot and feel oyt if it,then someimes faint..Although everything was ok with me

Thats good to know shell, ill let her know! I asked her about her blood sugar, she said from memory the mw checked that in hospital (she went in for cramping last week)

Heart palpatations are pretty common. She should go and get checked out just to be sure its nothing concerning. Unless it comes back she had a major cardiac condition she would not be kicked out of the birthing centre because of this.

I've had heart palps too where I actually feel my heart beating in my chest irregularly. I'm fine though. Also get breathless really easily and get hot and dizzy too. Maybe it has to do with all the extra blood us preggies have to pump around our bodies.
Hope she is ok, she should ask her doc about it.

Hmm...Yeah, tell her to stop being silly and go and see one. Go with her for support, but not going is ridiculous.
If she can't birth at the birth centre she can deal with that when the time comes, if there is something really wrong and doesn't get checked out she is just putting herself and her baby at risk for no good reason.
