Heart palpitations in pregnancy

[samjacklogi88]

Anyone else suffers fast heart and heart palpitations in pregnancy I got it with my first now I got it again

Not in pregnancy but I'm going through the menopause and I get them.

Yeah in the early stages I actually read it can be normal

Yes. Mine was caused by anaemia. Get your iron levels checked. Easily resolved if your levels are low!

Yes, I ended up in hospital at 33 weeks because of them. They put it down to dehydration.

Yes I get them occasionally aswell

I get them a lot but that's due to my thyroid levels. I had a Total Thyroidectomy last year so they need to monitor my medication throughout pregnancy. Even though I know what causes them they're still unnerving :(

I had quite a bit the first 4-5 months, but not so much lately. I read that it can be down to iron deficiency so I started taking a pregnancy supplement that contains iron and haven't had them much since, although I don't know if it's related or just coincidence.

I have, told midwife and she wasn't concerned but also found out at that appointment that I was a bit anaemic. Keep taking pregnancy vitamins in case its that, if its happening a lot might be worth speaking to your midwife.

Thank you all glad to know I'm not the only one it's horrible when it happens seems to start more at night for me I am on pregnancy vitamins so fingers crossed I'm not anaemic I had that after birth of my son and it was awful I will ask to get checked thank you for all your comments

Yes especially when I'm trying to have a day time nap
