Racing Heart!

I'm roughly 5 weeks gone with my second. Never had racing heartbeat first time around but it kept me awake last night, so I'm knackered.

It's speeding up whenever I move around, and I've got to teach 3 hours of dance later! When does this stop?! My normal resting rate is in low 60s, currently in mid 90s!

I've got that, and had it last time too. But I would get your iron levels checked too jic.

Yeah I should probs go to the GP at some point too. It's just so weird. Makes me feel really panicky because I can't get it to slow down!

I've been getting this! My iron levels are okay so assuming with me it's anxiety.

I have this quite severely at the moment and I'm 20 weeks.

I actually have a 24 hour cardiac trace booked for next week just to make sure it's nothing sinister but the consultant has said he's fairly sure it's going to be ok but just wants to check.

Defo mention to your gp but it's probably nothing
