Tachycardia

Ah, I feel you lah! Quite a few mums I know went through this during their pregnancies, memang the heart works extra hard when you're carrying, so it's not uncommon to feel your pulse racing even when you're just sitting or doing simple things like climbing stairs. Some mums noticed their resting heart rate stayed around 75, 85 which was okay, but then it would suddenly spike to 170, 180, which honestly gave them (and their doctors!) a bit of a fright; others found that even light activity made them feel faint and breathless, though their oxygen levels were actually fine. The thing is, hormones and the extra blood volume your body needs do play a big role, so try not to panic too much, but it's definitely something worth mentioning to your doctor or specialist, especially if it's happening often or if you're feeling dizzy or very uncomfortable. They can monitor you properly and make sure everything's settling well, okay? Take care of yourself!

Aww mama, this is quite common during pregnancy actually, your body is working extra hard to pump blood for baby and yourself, so the heart does race more easily! But since tachycardia can sometimes need checking (especially if it's making you feel dizzy or breathless), it's really best to mention it to your doctor at your next checkup so they can make sure everything's okay and put your mind at ease. Take care of yourself, and don't hesitate to reach out to your clinic if it feels really intense or you're worried, ya?
