Palpitations

Has anyone experienced these in the 3rd trimester? FTM and unsure what is ‘normal’ and what’s not. I did mention it to the midwife and she didn’t seem concerned but just want to know if I’m the only one.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I'm only 7 weeks and getting them.

Gp has arranged blood tests for anaemia and thyroid.

Call your gp.

I’m in 3rd trimester and I get them, it’s normal I think, all to do with having loads more blood being pumped around body puts extra exertion on heart causing occasional palpitations, most of the time harmless, but I guess if you are worried and you’re getting them often you should see your gp even just to put your mind at rest. But I get a few a day I’d say so your not the only one!

I had them for one day during week 36.. told my midwife but she didn’t seem concerned, I guess it’s always better to check, especially if you feel dizzy/fainty at the same time it could indicate some other issues..
