I've noticed my heart rate seems a bit faster than usual since I got pregnant. Is it normal for heart rate to increase during pregnancy? I'm just curious.
Honestly, I am not a doctor, but my own heart rate used to go up quite a bit even during light walking. It felt weird at first, but my gynac said it was normal for my body. Just sharing what happened with me, definitely talk to your doctor if you feel uneasy.
Yes, it totally does! Your body is working overtime to grow that sweet baby 💖 Just take it easy, don't rush up the stairs, and keep yourself well hydrated! 🥤
Oh, I remember that pounding feeling in my chest so well, it used to make me so anxious! It's amazing how much our bodies go through to grow a tiny human. You are doing a wonderful job, just rest as much as you can.
Yes beta, the body works much harder to nourish the baby, so a slight increase in heart rate is normal. Try drinking warm milk with a little cardamom or eating a few soaked almonds daily to keep your energy up. But if you feel dizzy or breathless, let your doctor know immediately.
It definitely does because your blood volume increases during this time. I used to keep a simple oximeter at home to check it occasionally without panicking. Just sit down, drink a glass of water, and rest for 10 minutes when you feel it racing.
My heart rate was always slightly higher throughout my pregnancy, especially in the second trimester. It's just the body pumping more blood for your little one. Try to take deep, slow breaths and don't strain yourself with heavy work.
My mother told me to drink warm cumin water to soothe my body when I felt my heart beating fast. While these home tips gave me comfort, I still made sure to mention it to my gynac during my regular checkup to be absolutely safe.
