Anxious feeling before labor?

Question

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I'm 34 weeks along. The last 2 days out of nowhere my body has just been feeling antsy, almost like an anxiety attack is coming but nothing. My heart feels like it's beating a little faster than usual...Nothing is bringing it on, I'm not nervous about anything. I'm wondering if this is an early labor sign? Has anyone had this feeling and gone into labor shortly after?

Answer

This is my first pregnancy and I’m 31w4d and I’ve been getting hit with this feeling myself, it becomes as if I can’t breathe and I’m going to go into a panic attack and my mind begins to race with thoughts. I don’t think it would be any sign of labor

Answer

An accelerated heart rate could be due to anemia. Is this your first time experiencing it? Or has it been happening sporadically? I’m only asking because with me I started to feel heart palpitations a lot more frequently in my last trimester. It was just a side effect of my anemia. But I would definitely check with your OB and just make sure it’s nothing to be worried about. It could also be high blood pressure. So be sure to ask when you speak to your OB.
