Why is my resting heart rate going down?

I have been wearing a fitbit for the last couple of weeks and noticed that my resting heart rate is going down. I am 26 weeks pregnant, shouldn't it be going up? Freaking me out, anyone else experience this?

Have you been eating well, doing exercise, getting a lot of sleep?

Also you go through pro and anti-inflammatory stages of pregnancy. You might be in an anti-inflammatory period.

Will likely go up again at some point.

Mine did this and I was an avid watcher of my RHR. mine went down before the 12 week mark and it freaked me out so much! But please be assured it doesn't mean anything. My pregnancy carried on and was perfectly normal and she's now 1!

Thank you so much! I think I should probably take the watch off so I stop freaking myself out!

That's useful to know, thank you! I have been trying to eat better so maybe it's that...
