Because of increased blood volume during pregnancy, sometimes irregularities can be identified during this time. It is important that you tell your doctor about your symptoms- with details about what you were feeling at the time, doing at the time, time of day, time length of symptoms and description such as "faster, slower, skips..." etc. What you describe could be anything from a normal heart mumur to serious heart problems that could only be identified through further testing.

I had what you are describing a few months ago. I think I was about 4-5 months pregnant. I am 7 now..... I described them as heart palpitations. I asked my doc and she said that some woman just have them during pregnancy. If there is no history of heart problems in your family, I am sure it is fine but I would make sure you tell your doc, just to be on the safe side.

Oh yes, I have a nine month old baby so I know all about what you are feeling. I suffer from depression, post traumatic stress syndrome and panic and anxiety disorders. Please don't think I am giving you any diagnosis, but it is something to check with your doctor. Anxiety was very strong in my pregnancy ,and this will cause you to feel your heart beat-ting differently. If you are not sleeping ,your hands or feet go numb or feel tingly, you are light headed when you stand up , your heart is racing or pounding very hard , you feel a lump in your throat-it may feel hard to swallow,or feelings of panic or a sense of doom, it sounds like anxiety.less likely it could be a condition that may harm you or the baby;either way you must contact your health care provider to assess and solve this issue. Please remember it is very common to feel a wide range of emotions so don't be scared, be safe. congratulations

I've had that too. I'm about 29 weeks now and especially when I'm lying down on my left side (as I'm supposed to), sometimes I can actually feel my heart beating really hard, and it almost feels like it's going to burst out my chest. I can feel it not just in my chest, but like up through my neck, too.
Really wierd....I just assume it's because my heart has to work harder because there's a greater volume of blood in my system, etc.

Pregnant women's hearts beats slower that usual. The baby's heart in pregnant women's belly beats even faster. It is possible that is what is happening to you. Talk to your OB doctor and let him or her know what you are going through.

your heart is working harder during pregnancy because your body has more blood, by the end of pregnancy you will have up to 50% more blood than you would normally have, it is not uncommon for you to be able to actually sort of "hear" your heart beating or notice your chest moving... don't get worried about it, just relax...and yes it happens to me to at 35 wks.

It's simple. Your heart just has too work harder to keep the blood flow going. And yes I can relate.

I had this too...I called them heart palpitations. Mention it to your OB but most likely it is perfectly normal. It does feel weird... kinda scary sometimes too!! All good things!
