Increased heart rate, is this normal?
So I found out yesterday through blood test hcg 200 and pergesterone 168 12dpo that I am pregnant!! Very excited we had been try almost a year and had to use fertility drugs I've noticed over the last few days that my heart rate has increased a lot ( I use a heart rate monitor when I exercise) I was short on breath this morning just doing the dishes so I put the monitor on and my heart rate was 125 just doing tr dishes surely this isn't normal??

When I was pg with my son, I actally found out because of a trip to the er due to rapid heart rate. After I learned the good news I was told that it happens during pregnancy and usually due to dehydration. The doctor also suggested that if it happened again I should bear down briefly, and get fluids in me. Btw, my dehydration was not because of morning sickness, I never really got it, it just happened. I say get plenty of fluid and rest, if it continues to be bothersome, make an appt. Good luck and congrats!

The increased levels of progesterone changes your cardiovascular system & the rate at which you breathe. It is perfectly normal. I constantly gasp for air when I'm pregnant. As your body begins to adapt to you being pregnant, your blood volume increases, your heart rate increases due to the stress, & your lungs have to work harder to oxygenate all that blood. You're just seeing the beginning stages off all that. Congrats!
