Fast heartbeat

Hi all,

Im 29 weeks pregnant and over the past 5 weeks I have developed a very fast/rapid heartbeat and sometimes palpitations. I have been to a cardiologist and they have found no abnormalities..phew!! So at least I know Im not going to drop dead from a heart attack :pray: Is anyone experiencing this or something similar to this in their second & third trimesters?

Thanks
Renee :p

Hi Renee

Yes i have been feeling something similar. Maybe once or twice a day, i have only noticed it over the last month. I am 35 weeks pregnant and I havent mentioned it to my doctor yet. I was getting a little worried, but I have read that it is quite normal.

I will definately mention in my next appointment though, just to ease my mind.

Hi Sammy,

I would mention it to your doctor at your next appointment, but Im sure everything is fine...let me know how your go.
My heartbeat is always fast unfortunately..but I guess bubba just needs more blood supply...I have also heard your heart pumps harder and faster during pregnancy. :D
