High heart rate in pregnancy , experiences ?

[ConnieC2001]

I’m almost 26 weeks and I’ve dealt with tachycardia well before pregnancy but worse now pregnant . I had a heart monitor on and highest it went was 188! I don’t do strenuous exercise so the only thing I could have been doing is walking , doctor said it looked normal just fast which still leaves me with no answers ! Walking in the shopping centre today and my heart was going so so fast , definitely close to 180. Had to sit down for ages to try bring it down, can anyone reassure me my fast heart rate episodes won’t affect babies heart rate ? I did hear it can increase their heart rate , which is concerning as mine seems to be going faster than the babies!

I’ve been the same since about 10 weeks but definitely feel like it’s worsened over the last couple of weeks (21 weeks now). Mine seems to be staying around 150-160. I have days that I’m fine and then days like today, were I stand up and can feel my heart pounding in my chest.

I'm not sure about it affecting the baby’s HR but I’ve got an appointment with the consultant tomorrow so I’ll ask them!

@FirstMondayInMay its awful isn’t it ?i feel like I can’t do anything without it spiking ! Let me know what they say when you know !
