heart rate

Is it normal to have an elevated heart rate in early pregnancy.

My BP is always low normal and when I found out I was pregnant (around 4 weeks) I took my bp and It was 141/91!!!! I couldn't believe it, since then it's been 137/89, 122/70, and then it started going down..... Now it's been 110/70 and 100/60 at my last appt (I'm currently 8 weeks) so I'm sure you will be fine... Just watch it and if it doesn't go down then I'd start worrying, but for now it's normal I think!!

I'm not dealing very well. I had a lot of withdrawals from getting off my meds. I'm also quite depressed. I'm ten weeks. Found out at 4 weeks. I'm going to go over some more options at my appt on the 14th. We'll see. Good luck to you. I know how hard it can be.

I also suffer from white coat syndrome so as soon as I walk into a Dr. Office my bp goes through the roof but it's normal when I take it at home

[sarahpie81]

No mess for me. I do take a natural supplement that my Dr said is still OK to take called orchex. I go for my first appt sept 8th. First ultrasound that day will also happen.  I'm in my 4th week. How are you dealing with things?

I have this problem due to anxiety. I had to stop my meds so it all spiraled. Are you on any meds?

i don't think so, maybe you are just stressed or worried, not used to the idea of a new "condition". try to relax.

I'm just freaking out that my Dr is going to put me in the hospital for it. I'm 4 weeks pregnant and this is my first. Also suffer from panic/anxiety disorder so I know that doesn't help either.

yes, its because of the extra blood you are pumping through your body. though pay attention and ask your doctor about it.
