  This happened to me with my first and I remember talking to my ob about it. She told me it was normal and it had to do with the increase in blood volume. If it happens a lot, you could always get it checked out, but what you're dealing with sounds a lot like what I remember experiencing.

  I had frequent, annoying palpitations around a month ago. They are all but gone now. I did end up having a 24 hour Holter monitor and an echocardiogram which were fine. My OB said they are common. My Mom told me she had them when she was pregnant too! Feel better

  i am wearing a 24 hour holter monitor as i type this for the palpitations.  i also have a pre existing slight aortic insufficiency (my aortic valve doesn't close all the way) but was cleared in June so shouldn't be causing any issues.  I had an EKG yesterday and am going back today for another echocardiogram.  There are soooo many things it could be, including normal!!!  I dont' think it hurts to mention to your OB, check your blood work for thyroid and a CBC, and do a quick cardiac work up, but alot of pregnant women have this.  my cardiologist is saying he thinks its a vasovegal response for me, where my blood pressure drops, palpitations, dizziness and nausea all happen, so i have a bit more symptoms then you, but still would call OB to let them know.  i'm sure you're fine!

  I had a weird "skipping a beat" feeling around 4 months when I was pregnant with DS eight years ago. They ran an EKG and I had to wear the 24 hour holter monitor. I was diagnosed with arrhythmia, but not a dangerous type. It was worse when I lied on my left side, which is of course the side they tell you to lie on! I would get it checked out, just in case.

  Me: 42. DH: 46.

  1st Pregnancy: MC, 11/19/00.

  2nd Pregnancy: DS born 04/10/06.

  3rd Pregnancy: CP, 03/11.

  4th Pregnancy: MMC, D&C 11/30/11, Genetic testing revealed Trisomy 4.

  5th Pregnancy: Ectopic, 2 doses of Methotrexate unsuccessful, surgery 4/10/12, right tube removed.

  Tried Letrozole January 2013-July 2013 (including 2 IUIs), all BFN.  After 2 1/2 years of trying for child #2, decided to "give up" after July cycle, based on AMA.

  August 16, 2013:  BFP our first month of "not trying!"  Still in shock.  Beta #1 (14dpo): 183.  Beta #2 (17dpo):  611.  Ultrasound 8/30/13: baby measured 6 weeks, 1 day, heart rate of 118 bpm! 
  Ultrasound 9/13/13:  8 weeks, heart rate of 176!
  Baby is due 4/26/14
