Heart rate 96 BPM - Too fast??

Question

Hi all! My heart rate has been reaching 96 BPM for the past few weeks. I'm only 16.5 weeks pregnant. 
Does this seem too fast? Is anyone else's heart rate high? 
Mine was consistently around 70-72 BPM until I reached 13.5 weeks pregnant.

Answer

I’m only 6 weeks and mine has hit 96 bpm occasionally. It usually around 84-88 bpm and pre pregnancy it was in the low 60s ... so if it’s concerning you, give your doc a call and I’m sure they’ll reassure you or check you out !

Answer

Mine has been running approximately the same through my whole pregnancy. I wouldn't stress.

Answer

Mine averaged 105-110 my whole last pregnancy. They had it recorded as ‘generally high resting heart rate’ but didn’t care unless something else happened

Answer

There’s more blood flow so it’ll be higher. Has your blood pressure been ok so far?

Answer

I'm almost 38 weeks and just checked mine on my Apple Watch...it says 109BPM and I'm literally just sitting here 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

For pregnant women my MIL who is a nurse say they like you to be around 80 when you are resting. But typically don't worry until you are over 100. Yours is getting a little close to the worry stage. It never hurts to get it looked at?

Answer

Mine was constantly up in the 120s the doctor told me that it was normal because there's way more blood volume

Answer

When I was pregnant, I had to stop wearing my Fitbit because I was constantly checking it and freaking out. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

Mines in the 100-120s and Im 6w2d. 
My dr is a bit concerned but 🤷🏻‍♀️
