Heart palpitations during pregnancy?

Question

Anyone else get heart palpitations during pregnancy? It happens to me at least once a day, but sometimes more. I never got them with my first, but it kinda scares me. Can this be dangerous? Or is it perfectly fine?

Answer

I had them in the beginning, but I had them before I was pregnant, when I was in college. I went back to my cardiologist who diagnosed me with Mitral Valve Prolapse. I would definitely call your Ob/GYN about it and also go to a cardiologist. Heart issues are never something to play with.

Answer

Yes I got it aaallll the time!

Answer

I got them a lot more when I was pregnant and noticed I got them more when my iron was lower than usual. Which it always is during pregnancies

Answer

I’d let your doctor know at your next appointment, because sometimes it CAN be a sign of something wrong, but I also know it is really common. Blood pressure (and blood sugar) commonly drops in pregnancy which can cause heart rate changes. Also your heart is working really hard to pump a lot of extra blood to the uterus.
