palpatations in pregnancy

[tiredbuthappy]

I know palpatations can be normal in pregnancy. I had them last time and even saw a cardiologist for a full work up last time. all came back normal. but last time, they didn't start until much later on. I have been having them for over a week now, and i am only 6 weeks 5 days.  i realize they may be aggrevated by the fact that i am dehydrated- i am working on drinking more. but they started before i had this terrible sickness. i tried calling the dr's office, but they were already closed. since it's been going on for a while, i didn't think it was an emergency. i mostly feel them when i sit down and relax or lay down.

So my question is: for those of you who experienced palpatations, is it normal for them to start so early?

I don't know if it is considered ABNORMAL.  I began having palpatations around week 13... and still get them off and on and I am going to be 33 weeks on Sunday.  I know that it has to do with the hormones that are circulating around the body... so maybe you have strong hormones right now :)

Mine were really early like 8 weeks I think, I even wrote Peek a PM asking about it. Mine did subside and now I never get them at 23 weeks. I would just wait and let your OB know and keep record of the frequancy.
