francesca25 asked:


I am 17 weeks pregnant, and up until yesterday had an occassional (like once every couple days) heart palpitation, usually while I was sitting at my desk at work. I was told that it was totally normal, nothing to worry about. Yesterday morning, I started getting palpitations (like my heart skips a beat) almost every five minutes. I slept well, heart palpitations stopped when I went to bed, and now today I am again having heart flutters every few minutes it seems. Has anyone else ever had this problem? I have a Dr’s appointment tomorrow morning, but in the meantime it’s very scary and hard for me to focus on anything else. :-(

Thank you for your answers.
