pregnant and my heartbeat

[kim]

Hi everyone as it says in the title im expecting a baby (in may).Ive always suffered from anxiety but ever since ive been pregnant my heart sometimes beats quite fast and also ive been getting what seems to be like a fluttering feeling aswell.I also remember what it seemed like a thump in the chest then afterwards my heart started thumping for a while,it took my breath a bit.

Just wondered if this can happen in pregnancy?and also is it something i should be concerned about?

Certainly mention it to your midwife/ GP who will probably ask for a routine baseline ECG if it new to you.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

When I was pregnant my normal, resting heart rate was about 105-115 bpm. I always had that fluttering sensation as well... I mentioned it to my dr a bunch of times, but she was never concerned... literly the day after my son was born my heart rate slowed down, and went to 80-95. I guess its just one of the joys of pregnancy... its just concerning for us panickers.

hi kim jackie here. had three pregnancies in the past 3 years one of them a twin pregnancy. all pregnancies produce a faster heart beat perfectly normal. i too suffered other symptoms surrounding my heart all normal apparently. hope all goes well. fellow sufferer. first baby?
