Palapatations w/pregnancy

[lumterps]

has anyone had frequent heart palpatations while their pregnant? I'm 11 weeks and have been having them a couple times during the day. They don't last long but just kinda takes my breath away and makes me a little nervous. I had this slightly during my first pregancy...but not this much. Some adivce would help...or to at least know I'm not the only one!

As long as your OB thinks there is nothing to worry about than you should be fine. Even more reassurance is that your cardiologist knows. If there was something to worry about, I'm sure they would have addressed it. I'm 17 weeks pregnant and so far I've noticed it a few times. Mine are mostly at night and it wakes me up. I understand completely about feeling nervous. Our bodies go through a lot while pregnant. This is my third pregnancy and you would think I'd be a pro by now, but I still question things I don't understand.

when I was preg The doc said I has a heart murmur.  I never had any follow up treatment or checks...  My sister in law said she did too, and nobody looked into it either.  I guess it is common???

my OB does know and so far nothing to worry about. I also see a cardiologist for other reasons and they know too....it still bothers me though and helps to know that I'm not the only one that has them. Are yours frequent? Did they go away after your pregnancy?

I had that last night too. I've had that with all of my pregnancies. It's best to mention it to your OB at your visit.

i too had them throughout my pregnancy. my ob said the same as sunworshiper's. Im sure its nothing to worry about but id let your ob know next visit!

I've had that too. OB said it had to do with increased blood flow. Your heart is working extra hard now. I'd let your OB know though so they can keep and eye on it
