Off and on I feel my heart racing suddenly even when im just sitting, im around 20 weeks. It scares me a bit when it happens at night. Planning to mention it to my gynac next visit but wanted to know if others get this too and how you manage.
Sometimes anxiety made my heart race too and it scared me, so I get how unsettling it feels. Slow deep breaths and sitting down helped in the moment. But please tell your doctor so they can rule out other causes, that gave me real peace.
I had palpitations and it turned out my thyroid needed adjusting, so do get those levels checked. Once it was managed the fluttering reduced a lot. Regular follow ups really help catch these things, so keep up your visits.
A faster heartbeat is somewhat common in pregnancy, but palpitations should still be mentioned to your gynac. Mine checked my thyroid and iron because those can cause it. Please dont just ignore it, get it looked at once.
