elevated heart rate

I checked into the hospital this morning because I did not feel good at all last night I'm 36 weeks pregnant had a lot of menstrual like cramps and the chills they hooked me up and everything is fine with me baby I was there for 5 hours with my heart rate never went under 130 it stayed at between 130 and 147 whole time I was there they think it could be my thyroid medication and they lowered it from .100 micrograms To .75 micrograms which really isn't that much. Other than that no answers.  I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced this any idea as to what it could be. My heart rate shouldn't be this high.

I have had am elevated heart rate for the last month or so since I got sick. At one point is was up to just above 150, and now it's leveling off in the mid 120s.  My Dr said it could be normal due to pregnancy b.c all of my tests are coming back normal. Your body is making and pumping so much extra blood for the baby that your heart Rate speeds up
