arrhythmia while pregnant

Has anybody else been diagnosed with arrhythmia while being pregnant?? Im currently sick with a minor cold/sore throat,went to urgent care for a regular check up and to get a step test done and ended up having to get an EKG done bcuz we found my heart is skipping a beat every 10 seconds. They say it can b just bcuz I'm in my third trimester of pregnancy (29 weeks) just a little concerned.

I've had heart problems since early 2nd trimester I'm now 31 weeks. I was even put on a heart monitor for 30 days. I had an ekg and found out I now have a stiff heart valve and it's due to pregnancy. I was told many pregnant ladies end up having some kind of heart problems due to the heart having to pump to much extra blood and everything will return to normal after delivery. just listen on the dos and don'ts the doctors tell you and try not to stress.
