Skipped heartbeats

Has or is anyone dealing with this? I had them occasionally before I was pregnant, but in the last few weeks that have gotten worse. Today, I have had them constantly. I am sure focusing on them isn't helping. I have an appt with my cardiologist Tuesday.
He always tells me they are benign,  but that doesn't make me "feel" any better.

Irregular heart rates and murmurs are actually quite common during pregnancy. They are almost always benign and usually disappear after you deliver. If you are concerned though it is a good idea to be checked for peace of mind.
