Heart Palpitations???

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and just started experiencing heart palpitations today. I've had about 6 episodes today. I hear it is normal in pregnant women. Have any of you experiened the same thing?

Re: Heart Palpitations???

  • I had a couple around the holidays, but just attributed them to the stress of being with my family.  I didn't realize they were normal during pregnancy, but I also wasn't worried enough to call my doc.  They were pretty fleeting and I haven't had anymore since.
  • I've felt my heart skip a beat a few times, but at 5-6 weeks.

  • I've had this a lot lately but I'm not sure if it's due to the pregnancy or my over active thyroid.
  • your BP could be high. If it continues consult your dr.
  • I was just thinking about asking the same thing.  I thought my heart was going to come out of my throat it's beating so hard...and weird!  I have my 1st OB appt thursday, so i'm asking then.  I can post results when I get back.
  • I also had palpitations pre-pregnancy, and they stopped once I cut out caffeine.  I'm still having them now, even with limited caffeine.  They are normal in pregnancy because of increased fluids, but definitely mention it to your doc this week.
  • Thats so weird that you mention that. Just last night when I was trying to sleep it happened to me.I hate that feeling. Like my heart is gonna jump from my chest. Needless to say I hardly got any sleep it kept happening all night. and I could not get comfortable

  • Is that when you can feel your heart beating and it seems as thought it's beating out of your chest?  If so, I have had them.  If not, I might have a bigger problem on my hands, haha.

  • I've had them, too.  I posted about it on here, and many people told me it's a normal, albeit slightly scary, aspect of pregnancy!
