Heart flutters in pregnancy?

layla983 asked:


I’m 14 weeks pregnant & for about 5 or 6 weeks I’ve have episodes of what I can only call heart flutters. It feel like my heart skips a beat then beats quickly for a moment, it takes my breath away somewhat. They were pretty infrequent until the past week or so (so much I totally forgot to tell my doctor last week at my appointment). Tonight, for example, I’ve have several of these episodes, one every several minutes. They are very quick though, nothing that stops me in my tracks, just enough to make me take notice.

I was wondering if anyone has had anything like this in their pregnancy? I’ve never had anything like this before, no heart problems or anything. Thanks.

      Hey,
      I had the same thing, in pregnancy and not.
      During pregnancy it caused me to get HIGH blood pressure…
      Outside of pregnancy they have no idea had all tests but nothing!
      You need to talk to your doctor about it even if you just ring them and ask over the phone!

      Good Luck

      I’d say call your doctor once more. Not much else you can do…
