Im in my 5th month and lately my heart feels like its racing even when im just sitting. Checked on a oximeter and pulse was high. Planning to tell my gynac at next visit but wanted to know kya ye common hai in pregnancy?
Look, your body is producing extra blood for the baby, so your heart has to pump faster than usual. It is a very common thing in pregnancy. But if you are feeling dizzy or weak, stop asking online and go see your doctor to get your BP and pulse checked properly.
Honestly, my pulse rate shoots up just looking at a plate of hot momos! But seriously, your body is working double-time to pump blood for the baby, so a slightly higher pulse is normal. Just make sure you are eating well and resting enough.
A high pulse rate can be normal, but please be very careful. If you feel dizzy, have chest tightness, or feel breathless, don't wait at all and call your gynac immediately. I had blood pressure issues during my pregnancy and checking with the doctor early saved me from major complications.
Uff, my heart feels like it's running a marathon even when I'm just lying on the bed staring at the ceiling! With this heavy belly in the 3rd trimester, the body has to pump so much extra blood. It's exhausting but totally normal, just try to take deep breaths and rest.
I got so scared when my fitness band showed my heart rate was over 100 while I was just sitting. I ran to my doctor in a panic, but she smiled and said the body's blood volume increases by almost 50% during pregnancy, so the heart has to beat faster. It's completely normal, so don't worry.
