Racing pulse

[LISAMJS]

Hi everyone - Every now and again I notice my pulse is racing. It goes from 60 to about 90 and then slows down to normal again. Has anyone else had anything similar to this? Thanks.

I am 33 weeks by the way if that makes any difference x

Since 27 weeks, mine is always between 100-120 when they check it at the hospital (both on the bp machine and manually)

So, not sure mine races. They simply tell me it is fast all the time lol

i used to get that a lot before i got pregnant though usually in the middle of the night it lasted for about 30 seconds then went back to normal kind of like a huge adrenalin rush but i think it went a lot higher than 90 it felt more like 160 to be honest which is a lot more worrying. it felt like i was running a marathon in my sleep but wasn't breathless but then i do have a heart problem but still not sure what would cause that i've always been too scared to ask the doctor but that hasn't happened since becoming pregnant. my pulse seems to be staying around the 78 mark now but some days its faster than others especially in this heat it stayed over 100 all day the other day even resting wouldn't bring it down again. if your not getting any pain or diziness or breathlessness then i wouldn't worry too much. 90 isn't that high really anyway but maybe make a note of times it happens and what you were doing just before it and mention it to the doctor or midwife next time you see either of them.
