Fast heart rate

[Naturalmommi]

My heart has been beeting fast off and on for a week now. Anyone else experiancing this ??

No. Check in with your midwife though. I do have low blood pressure which makes my heart go faster sometimes to prevent me from fainting. A lot is going on in our bodies now and our hearts have to work more as we are producing more blood.

I was like this around 5-10 weeks with my last pregnancy and this one. I'm not too concerned because the Dr wasn't worried about it with my last.

I should mention that I DIDN'T suffer from any dizziness, numbness, fainting, etc... just a fast heart rate with some palpatations.

What was your heart rate?

If I remember correctly, in my 2nd pregnancy it was 96bpm while resting. I was also told I had a murmur but it went away later in my pregnancy, same with the fast heart rate.
