Lately my heart feels like its beating faster even when im just resting, especially in this 1st trimester. Is this normal at this stage ya does it start later? Anyone else felt this na?

Agreeing with others, it starts in the first trimester. Just take deep breaths and rest when you feel it rising.

Khushi Deshpande · Answer

I noticed my heart racing even before I missed my period, around 5-6 weeks. It is quite a strange feeling but completely normal as your body is working hard for the baby.

Rucha Patil · Answer

Don't stress too much about it, babe! It starts early on because of all the extra blood. Just avoid checking your fitness watch every five minutes!

Riya More · Answer

I totally understand how alarming it feels when you suddenly feel your heart beating faster. It's just your beautiful body working double-time to nurture your sweet baby.

Your heart rate starts going up right in the first trimester because your blood volume is rapidly expanding. It is completely normal to feel a bit of racing, just don't overexert yourself.

Kavya Alva · Answer

Listen, your body has to pump extra blood now, so your heart rate will obviously increase starting early first trimester. Just sit down and drink water if you feel out of breath.

During my early weeks, I noticed my pulse was slightly higher and felt a bit anxious. It's just the body beautifully preparing to support your precious little miracle, so don't be afraid.

I am in my second trimester and my resting heart rate has gone up to 85-90 bpm! Does anyone else feel like their heart is beating so fast even while resting?

Yes, it usually starts rising in the first trimester. Don't worry, it's just your body doing its job to keep the baby healthy.

It starts rising in the first few weeks itself and can go up by 15-20 beats per minute. It's a sign of a strong, healthy body preparing for the big day ahead!
