heart pounding...

For the past couple days, my heart has been pounding to where it feels like it's gunna jump outta my chest...sorta like after exercising or whatever. But it does it when I'm just relaxing...sitting or laying down, watching TV...It'll start racing and I can hear it in my ears which is weird...I looked it up wondering what the heck was going on and it said that your heart is working harder b/c it has more blood to pump due to the baby...is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?

I have the same thing happen to me too. You read correctly...it's because our bodies are pumping more blood and working harder due to the baby. I asked my doctor and he says its normal!!

That's a relief. I have experienced the same thing and thought that it was wierd because i was relaxing. It can be kinda scary.  

I have also experianced the same thing but sometimes its hard to breath as well. Its a little scary sometimes!

I also have something similar, but my heart has been messed up ever since I was in labor w/ my daughter last year, I had a complication w/ the epidural. with this pregnancy my heart is just awful. You should get it checked becasue it cuold be high blood pressure, or anything else that may not be good for you. but on the other hand all it could be is your heart working over time to nourish that beautiful baby! Tell your DR!

So far my blood pressure has been good...before I got preg, I sometimes would get tachy which normally meant I needed to drink more fluids...now I'm drinking water all the time (and peeing it out if not more often) ...if it doesn't get better in a few days, I'll try calling the dr...
