For the past few days I have had an accelerated heart rate. At some points it is even quite distracting to me. It even happened last night as I went to bed. All I was doing was lying down... why would the heart rate be faster then? It's been fast again today.
One of the things I'm wondering about deals with me being able to exercise. I work out at Curves 3x per week (on good weeks). Doc said to continue working out throughout the pregnancy, unless it became excessively uncomfortable or something hurt. He said that Curves was organized in such a way that they would be able to "prescribe" pregnancy modifications for me to follow. Well, instead of working out at a normal 80% rate, Curves modifications take that down to 50%. My first few times I felt like I was dragging, but one of the workers said I was doing exactly what I needed to do... and even that I could slow down more. :shock:
I have not gone to exercise since last Wednesday, due to this heart rate... How am I supposed to have such a low heart rate while exercising if my resting rate is sky high? :?
From what I have read, it is completely normal to have an accelerated heart rate during pregnancy. Something about the blood volume being doubled while we are pregnant. Sheesh... If it's normal, I don't remember having it with my first. This time around, wow.
Any ideas?
