what has your pulse rate been?

Question

My pulse is usually in the high 80/90's before pregnancy. Now at 6 months pregnant it ranges anywhere from 104-124 (I have a BP machine at home). I saw and out of hours doctor yesterday as I have been struck down with a bad cold etc all week and it was 120. He actually googled, yes googled, to see if this was normal and said it seemed to be normal for pregnancy? Anyone else have theirs this high?

Answer

You must be talking about blood pressure, not pulse (heart rate), right? Because those numbers are normal for blood pressure but certainly not for resting pulse.

Answer

I wear a Fitbit and my normal resting HR is 58-62 and it's only a little higher now at 65.  I do lots of cardio though. I'm only 6 weeks now

Answer

150/90+ is high during pregnancy. I was high risk due to gestational hypertension that led to preeclampsia. Ur heart rate is higher now bc it is pumping for two. As long as it doesn't match nor go higher than the rate above u should be fine. But make sure u drink plenty of water n add leafy greens to ur diet
