Re: Anyone have a bit of racing heart in early pg?
yes, I absolutely did and still get it sometimes. I also experienced this when I was very hyperthyroid (before I knew there was a problem).
i know it's scary but try to drink a lot and relax.
and unofficial (since you're not officially joining) congrats - been following your posts on the IF board

I had and now again have the same. At first I thought I was really out of shape but I was told it's normal because the baby is sharing your, well everything. I actually got so nervous I went to a cardiologist and he said the same.

Re: Anyone have a bit of racing heart in early pg?
This happened to me this morning. Had to walk up 2 flights of stairs on my commute and my heart was pounding like I ran a sprint race. No advice other than to take it easy or discuss with your doctor if you think its getting worse/doesn't feel right - listen to your body.

Yes I had that a lot in early pregnancy, its normal its all the extra blood flow going to the baby! I still get it now from time to time at 22 weeks.

Re: Anyone have a bit of racing heart in early pg?
yes, I had that too. My OB said it could be a normal side effect of being pg, but it could also be a sign of dehydration...so be sure to drink lots of water. :)

I have this still at 36 weeks. I had it with DS too. It happens when I don't drink enough water. Dr's explanation is that your blood volume increases making it thicker and harder to pump. Hydration is important for so many reasons during pregnancy.

Omg yes!!! It happened to me last week while I was driving then I got this wave of dizziness like I was going to faint. I almost had to pull over. I'm glad you asked this because it scared the sh*t out of me!!

Yes. I think a lot of it was anxiety and nervousness though! I still get it now once in awhile too usually when I'm laying down relaxed.
