Me too. I think it's normal during this part of pregnancy. Your blood volume is increasing.
Oooh! I just looked it up, and I found this. Looks like we might be dehydraded! I need to drink more water!

You could be experiencing palpitations, or feel like your heart is "skipping a beat". I felt this throughout my pregnancy and a few times after giving birth. My OB said it was not abnormal but not common and if I felt any pain in my chest, to go to the ER right away. Nothing serious ever developed from this and the baby is fine. If this is your problem, let your doctor know about it. But I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Maybe you are trying to do too much. Remember that you are pregnant and you can't do as much as you used to. You don't have to act disabled (unless you actually are), but remember that things won't go as easy anymore. Also you may be eating more salt and need to cut back a little, I know that makes my heart race.

Although this may be normal, it could also be a sign of a thyroid disorder. Thyroid disorder is often brought on by pregnancy so if you have any family history of it request a blood test. I would also mention it to your Dr. at your next appointment.
Pregnancy does wacky things to the body :o)

It is probably nerves and stress of being pregnant. Your body is also having to pump more blood through your body with the new baby being in there. Def. call your OB and let him know or if u have an appt soon then let him know then.

your heart is pumping 50% more blood during pregnancy than when you are not pregnant mine has also felt like im having palpatations but its just working harder to keep up! Could also be caused by hormones and adrenaline!

That's very normal. I felt like that all the time. I just think of it as my fetus is moving around. Even as early as you are. you don't have to take your pulse everytime you feel that way, like I said just think of it as you fetus is moving around.

Your heart is working harder. Don't worry about it too much. If it really bothers you then talk with your doc and see if there is anything you can do to minimize this symptom.

You are probably fine. Try to relax and not be nervous. Your body is going through changes and will soon be used to them.
