Ghar pe mummy bolti thi ki double blood banta hai body me toh dhadkan tez lagti hai. Limit me fast hona is normal, but if you feel dizzy then please ask your doctor.

Ranjana Mohapatra · Answer

When I was throwing up all day, my pulse was always high because of dehydration. Make sure you are drinking enough liquids and coconut water, it really helps stabilize the rate.

Deeptha Trivedi · Answer

It is completely normal to feel worried when you see your heart beating so fast, I used to check my pulse every hour and panic. Don't worry, our blood volume increases so heart works harder. Just sit down and drink water.

Anika Bhadauria · Answer

I felt my heart pounding so loudly during my first trimester, it was actually scary. When I told my gynac, she explained that it's just the body pumping more blood for the baby. It settled down later.

Anupama Madhavan · Answer

Any changes in pulse or blood pressure should never be ignored. Please call your gynac and tell them your readings, they are the best person to tell if it's safe.

I am still trying to conceive, but I read that pulse rate naturally increases to help the baby grow. Sending you lots of good vibes, hope you feel better soon.

Oh god, I used to constantly search this online and got so scared thinking something is wrong with my heart. Please don't overthink, slightly higher pulse is normal but do get it checked in your next visit for peace of mind.

God has designed our bodies to handle this beautiful journey, so don't let fear take over. Just chant a little or meditate to keep your mind calm, your pulse will naturally settle down.

Yamini Sundaram · Answer

Look, a pulse rate of 80 to 90 or even slightly more is common because your body is working double-time. But if you feel dizzy or have chest pain, go to the clinic immediately without waiting.

Kamla Mitra · Answer

Between meetings and chores, I noticed my heart racing too. Usually, 80 to 90 is quite normal, but if it's consistently very high, don't ignore it. Just drop a quick WhatsApp message to your doc.

Mahalakshmi Kulkarni · Answer

Slightly higher pulse is totally normal during these months. Just take rest and don't panic.

Supriya Jindal · Answer

Actually pulse rate can go up to 80-100 easily when you're pregnant, yaar. Mere saath bhi hota tha, I used to feel breathless sometimes. Just take some deep breaths and rest.
