High heart rate in pregnancy?

Question

Anyone else experience high heart rate in pregnancy? Every time I go for my baby appointments and they check my vitals, my heart rate is always high. Between 106-120. I’m not an unhealthy person, I’m 5’6” and weigh about 180 at 33 weeks pregnant. Is it bad for baby that my heart rate is so high? The nurse brings it up every time I go and asks if it’s normal. I’m not doing anything to over exert myself. Anyone else experience this? All my other vitals come back perfect.

Answer

I always ask them to take my BP after we check on the baby. My blood pressure is noticably lower when we check me AFTER the baby's heartbeat check.

Answer

I have tachycardia & technically suppose to see a cardiologist once the baby is born for it. I was suppose to years ago but with insurance changes couldn’t. 
Mines always 130-160 & that’s my “normal” 
Doesn’t effect the baby in any way

Answer

You have extra blood volume during pregnancy and your heart is working a bit extra to move it all around.

Answer

My heart rate even when not pregnant is usually over 100 and no one has ever said anything bad about it to me!
