O thanks kazzo I am 24 weeks now. It's dd2s birthday/anniversary next week so I think that stress is contributing to the palps! Looking forward to crossing that bridge and moving onto the next phase - I am finding my anxiety
Is a little through the roof atm!! So excited to meet little rainbow though!!
Thanks for the info ngiyi and jellybean. I am going to ask my ob to test my iron levels when I see him on Thursday - the palps are driving me bonkers! I hope it's not caffeine related...my morning coffee is my favourite part of the day
Awe that could be a contributing factor. It must be hard. Have you got anything planned for next week. Maybe organising something could help you with your anxiety and give you focus.
Could you switch to decaf for a little while and see if that helps?

Oh you poor thing sounds like a very tricky and anxious time indeed.
Another thing I find that can help my palpitations is breathing exercises. Might be worth a try could help the anxiety too. Almost any kind of breathing exercise can be good. I tend to use these ones http://www.rileylee.net/Breath_Exercises.pdf
Sort, I just saw there were more responses from last time! Kazzo - we had a little get together yest and did cake and a balloon release which was just awesome! Tomorrow for her actual bday we are just going to relax at home I think - maybe have a picnic. I also sent out some little rememberence cards which was really nice to do with my bestie.
I also decided to finish work as I work in a very stressful job. Funnily enough the palps have reduced dramatically!! Still having them from time to time but not ervryday thank goodness...it was starting to drive me crazy!!
I've never had heart problems but when I was around 20 weeks pregnant i started having weird pulpitations and couldn't breathe properly and it turned out to be an iron problem
I just started eating lots of lentils and it worked itself out
