Low heart rate in early pregnancy

[Everly18]

Hi all, I was under the impression that your heartrate increases during pregnancy due to the increased blood volume, however mine has dropped, my resting heart rate before pregnancy was between 60-70 bpm now its sitting low 50's and sometimes drops to 48bpm. It will rise to around 70-80bpm when I'm up and about but soon drops again. I'm 8 weeks pregnant, so I'm starting to worry something is wrong. I'm feeling fine besides the constant all day and night nausea. Does anyone else have a low heart rate?

Just bumping this to see if anyone else has a low heart rate, mine is still 10-15bpm lower then it was pre pregnancy 😏

Not sure about heart rate but my blood pressure always drops early pregnancy (outside of the normal range and into the ‘low bp’ category)

Just bumping this to see if anyone else has experience with this

I don’t have any experience with this, but could you contact your gp or tell you midwife at your booking appointment? It may ease your worries x

Unfortunately an early scan on Tuesday showed that I'm only measuring around 6 weeks, I should be 11 weeks today. I've been told it's highly likely to be a miscarriage and to prepare myself for pain and bleeding 😔 the EPAU have sent a letter out to my gp to investigate the low heart rate and a temperature that I have had on and off for weeks.

I am so sorry to see your update. Please take time for yourself. We are here for you if you need to talk. Hopefully the gp can get to the bottom of your low hr. Thinking of you.

I’m so sorry ❤️
