increased blood volumn

[huetson32]

So any one else have their heartbeats feel stronger while pregnant?

If your iron is low youll be feeling extremely tired and irritable. Your dr/gyn/ob will tell you that after having bloods done. And yes you have some extra blood pumping around you body. My heat rate not only seems stronger my but I can hear it in my ears and see it in my big round belly...lol!!

Ya I don't feel any different.   No other symptoms just more aware of my Hb at certain times. Ty for the reassurance.

Also it could be extra anxiety

[JbSweetpea86]

Yes I do, and it's not anything to worry about. Check with your doc but your right, your body is pumping extra blood, and working extra hard.

I guess because I heard when your pregnant your volume in blood increases and I thought maybe that was why. I should probably talk to doctor to maybe increase my iron

Women who are aware of their heartbeats often have anemia - a condition that's very common in pregnancy.  

I wonder why you titled this question "increased blood volume"?
