Lately even after just walking to the kitchen my heart feels like its racing. Im in my second trimester now and dont remember feeling this before. Is this a normal pregnancy thing or should i mention it to my gynac?
Totally normal, I noticed my heart pounding more even climbing simple stairs. The body has more blood to pump now. Stay hydrated and dont rush around, but if it feels extreme or you feel faint, get checked.
I freaked out feeling my heart race and convinced myself something was wrong. My doctor reassured me it is normal in pregnancy. If it scares you, just mention it at your next visit, that calmed me a lot.
Yes, my gynac explained that blood volume increases a lot in pregnancy so the heart works harder and beats faster. A mild rise is completely normal. But if you ever feel very racy with breathlessness or dizziness, she said report it.
