I think the only one who can answer this is your OB/GYN in terms of the effects it will have on your pregnancy. It may be that being in your third trimester is setting this off if nothing happened in the beginning of the pregnancy because your third is the hardest in any of our pregnancies.  The main thing is that the heart is obviously what is important however the blood pressure is the thing to watch to make sure it doesn't increase on you because that is a can of worms you don't want to open. I know with my kids and when i was pregnant i had issues with my heart dancing around and my girls were fine but only a doc can confirm that for you...i spoke w. a couple of my sisters (i have 5 of them) and out of all of us 2 others had the same issues and their kids were fine too...the only thing that i think it effected with my two girls is that the increased heart rate made them move faster when they grew up in able to race through Macys faster when shopping LOL.....i would listen to your doc and if you trust them i would relax..it may very well be that they will pass as quickly as they started....if i remember correctly mine went on off and on for about a month and then disappeared...you need to try to relax for the babies sake...and congrats on your pregnancy...it is a wonderful and magical event in life.......................

I know that being pregnant can elevate your heart rate because of the extra demands on your body-

As well you sound anxious and anxiety will certainly increase your heart rate quite a bit. Try to relax and do some breathing exercises if you can.

What did the doctor's say about it during your hospital trips?
