What do your pregnancy heart palpitations feel like? From someone who doesnt want their panic attacks to start up again :(

[Millie26]

Over the past two weeks I thought my bra was just digging in a lot and making my skin sort of twitch but now realise it is actually my heart beating really fast and feeling a bit tight.

Used to suffer from panic attacks so when I woke up last night with it, I felt so anxious.

Cant beleive that palpitations can be normal, it doesnt feel right at all - have other people had their hearts checked?

What do your palpitations feel like?

I get palpatations, and much worse in pregnancy. It's to do with the extra blood pumping around i believe. They can be scary but are usually totally harmless. I would describe them as my heart missing a beat or having too many beats. If you get them try not to panic as obviously that will increase your heart rate anyway.

Yes, I've been mentioning these to my husband for a couple of weeks now. It feels like something swells in my chest, it kinda takes my breath away.

I think it's normal.
