Woke up at 3:30 with butterflies in my chest...couldn’t fall back asleep?

Question

I kept tossing and turning. I felt this uncomfortable sensation like butterflies in my chest...almost like I was nervous. I’m so frustrated because baby was away for the night. I was supposed to get rest, now I’m more tired than I typically am when he’s here 🤦🏻‍♀️
Since I was young I’ve suffered from anxiety. Do you think this is what it is? I’m so exhausted now😭

Answer

They’re heart palpitations that are usually due to anxiety and stress. They are VERY common in pregnancy. I have found that mine get worse when I haven’t been drinking enough water. And stressing about them just makes them worse as well. If you’re concerned I’d bring it up to your doctor but unfortunately its just another joy of pregnancy.

Answer

This was me tonight too 🤦
Except I have my baby's home. Kept roaming from the room to the living room couch. Agh then I ended up getting sick about an HR ago, now I'm wide awake 😑🤦🤦🤣
