Heart beat!

[Babyevelyn]

Lately I've noticed that I've been having irregular heart beats, like my heart skip a beat or get rapid, has anyone else experienced this or does someone know the cause.  Help!!!

*Pressing on the vagus nerve, not praying...lol.

I had them really bad between weeks 22 and 31. I went to my cardiologist and he said they are nothing to worry about. They are caused by more blood volume in the body, anxiety,  or the baby praying on the vagus nerve.  Unfortunately,  I have all 3 of those. They have calmed down a lot since I've stopped fretting about them. I am 35 weeks.

I get this too!  Thank God it's normal i thought I was on the verge of a heart attack

The same thing happens to me (I'm 20 weeks) and has happened since at least 10 weeks. My doctor says it's normal :)

I noticed I get them in general when pregnant, even was sent to a cardiologist with first pregnancy. Found a harmless heart murmur BUT I've also noticed it's obvious when a Braxton Hick is coming. Further I get in the pregnancy the more often it happens

Yes I get it too. Its totally random and intermittent but not serious unless you are having that feeling and it is sustained.

My heart does the same thing. Its normal during pregnancy.

its most likely heart palpatations.. i had it before pregnancy. mine is worse during pregnancy. it can also be because when being pregnant your blood supplies increase for you nd your baby.. if your worried call your doctor hun ..
