I get this sometimes, and also racing heartbeats. I have severe anxiety at times, and that is what causes it for me.

Yep its arythmia. Tell your Dr about it but not really something to worry much about. I've noticed it my whole life but didn't realise it actually had a name till the nurse was checking my pulse during my first pregnancy. They did put it on the info page I got after birth but besides that I've never been asked about it. Drs weren't worried about it at all during my second pregnancy and I'm now 35wks into my third and they're not worried about it now either. Try not to stress about it the stress will probably do more damage than the actual arythmia lol

Heart palpitations are pretty common during pregnancy. I get them too. It's a scary feeling, but it's usually nothing to worry about. It's always good to let your doctor know though.

It may be arithemea. I found out I had it after I delivered my 3rd baby. You may have had it your whole life and are only now finding out about it. Well thats what the doctor told me. He said that it isok and is normal for your body. I assume he mens everyone with this condition. He said that if you start to really notice your hart beeting or start to worry to get your doctor to order a ecg to check. If needs be you may need to where a hart monitor for a while to track your hart. He said thatvis rare though.
I hope the infor the doctor at the hospital gave me helps to to feel calmer about it. It helped me. Just to be on the safe side you should get checked. Good luck hun try not to stress.
