Palpitations
Has anyone else experienced palpitations? I've never had them before during pregnancy but for the last week or so I've been noticing especially at night time my heart beating hard for a few beats. I'm also quite light headed in the evenings - feel a bit drunk sometimes! I do have quite a low blood pressure so I'm guessing that's probably contributing to it as well ? just wondered if anyone else has had similar?
Aw thanks girls, I mentioned it to the midwife when I was in on wed for my first appointment and she didn't even bat an eyelid so I guessed it's one of those normal pregnancy things! Good tip about the cough thankyou I'll try that x
I experienced them a lot in my last pregnancy so much to the point by about 28weeks I had to take a heart monitor home for 24hours and have a scan in my heart and it turns out it was just pregnancy related and went away. Now I'm 8w and I feel it coming back. A good tip I got told from cardiology is if you feel it coming on or have a bad one give out a good cough and it helps a little xx
I had it last pregnancy and midwife said it was normal. It's not nice though ?
