Resting heart rate high?

I know it's common that our heart rates increase during pregnancy, makes total sense and I get why. I am just curious if any of you track yours? I am 31 weeks and noticed the bigger I get the higher my rate seems to be. Typically sleeping is low 60s but lately sitting at my desk it will be in the 80-90 range. Just getting out of bed and a bit of exertion can make it go to 110 or so. I am physically fit - normal resting non pregnancy HR is low 50s. I will mention to my doc I am just asking if any of you have noticed anything similar?

Mine is normally 60s or low 70s and is now often upper 80s so yes I've notice the same thing
