Strong pulse

[Kylie1007]

Recently I have noticed that my pulse has been really strong - like I've felt the blood pulsing around my body. I've felt it in my back too, which is almost sore. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I am congested with a cold or maybe something to do with blood pressure now that baby is getting quite big?

Anyone else know what I'm on about or if I'm just an abnormality!!

I get that too every now and then during the day. I used to associate it with high blood pressure, but I'm not so sure now because I have my BP checked every week by the MW and it's been really good.

Yeah my bp has been fine throughout.

I've had this in my pregnancy but it seems to have eased off now. I have a really low BP so I just put it down to the extra blood in my body with the baby.

yea i get this....it shakes my eyes and my boobs haha

But yea i think its normal with all the extra things going on...as long as your bp is ok you should be fine

I think it may be the increased blood supply and your heart working a lot more, hopefully will settle down once baby is born
