Im in my 6th month and lately my heart feels like its racing even when im just sitting. Thoda scary lagta hai sometimes. Anyone else felt this and how did u calm it down?
I remember panicking over my racing heart when I was pregnant, but my doc assured me it's just the body pumping extra blood. Now that my toddler is running around, I realize pregnancy was just preparing me! Relax, drink water, and rest as much as you can.
Oh my god, I am in my 5th month and experiencing the exact same thing! Even walking to the kitchen makes my heart race sometimes. Does anyone else get this while lying down too, or is it just me?
Increased blood volume in pregnancy often makes our heart work extra hard, dear. Try deep breathing exercises daily and avoid rushing into things. If you ever feel dizzy or have chest pain, definitely call your doctor right away.
For me, my high heart rate turned out to be related to my thyroid levels acting up. Please get your thyroid and blood tests done regularly. It's so important to keep your gynac in the loop for dosage adjustments.
You should track your heart rate on a smartwatch or a health app to see when it spikes. Usually, resting heart rate goes up by 10-15 bpm in pregnancy, which is normal. But if the app shows a sudden massive jump, show the logs to your doctor.
During my second trimester, my heart used to race so fast out of nowhere. I just started sitting down immediately and drinking a glass of cool water, which helped me calm down. But everyone is different, so see what works for you.
