I'm having terrible heart palputations!

I know this is normal in pg- due to the increase in blood volume. But, I have had pretty constant paputations for 20-30 minutes strong. It is not stopping. What do I do?

What I have experienced is heart skips.  They mostly happen when I'm sitting in an awkward position.  

Whether you are experiencing pain or not, your best recourse is to call your doctor.

i have a premature heart beat as well but i have had mine for years now. Just relax and breathe slowly you'll have to force yourself. If that doesnt work shortly you need to cal your doctor

It feels like I have to force myself to breathe normally. It takes my breathe away... Feels like my heart is flopping around in my chest...

 Scary...   and very uncomfortable!

I agree go see you doctor, I was having the same thing and found out I have diabetes, not gestational, but had before I got pregnant. Seeing your doc will give you peace of mind.

I had the same problem with my last pregnancy and i had to wear a monitor for a few weeks. ?Turned out it was nothing more then just annoying irregular heartbeats. ?That said I have also had extreme rapid heart ?rate (240) which put me in the hospital for testing and monitoring but this was pre-pregnancy. So I always need monitoring if I am having an issue. ?I would definately call your doctor they may want you monitored.?
