  Good luck. I have palpitations and just had to wear a heart monitor at home for 24 hours. Not fun.

  I live with tachycardia and my pulse hits the 180s regularly. It's gonna be ok. You may have to take a beta blocker to help with your heart rate but that's not a big deal. This is my 6th pregnancy and I have healthy kids and none have been taken early because of my heart condition. The biggest risk is cardiomyopathy, which is extremely unlikely to occur just because of an occasional tach spell. Don't stress! Tachycardia alone is not reason enough for them to take the baby early. Your heart rate can be easily managed with medication so that baby cooks as long as possible and has the best chance at a healthy life. Just relax and trust that everything will be fine!

  Thank you! They think it is because of my uti. Because my body senses an infection. Praying it gets better. Going to see my doc this week. Making an earlier appointment.
