Has anyone else noticed this during pregnancy?
When I rest at night and feel really tired, my heart starts skipping beats.
I will ask my midwife if I need to get checked out, but just thought I'd ask here first.

Hey, I had this with my 3 pregnancies. Shouldn't be too much of a concern for you, but then mention it to your MW anyway. It's called heart pulpitations (sp?), I hated it, and noticed it too when I'd lay down, or sit down after I'd been busy running around! Due to your heart having to pump more blood to the baby & you. Rest assured, it's pretty normal  .

Yep I get that sometimes now. So its normal, I was reading about it in my preggy books. But still let your midwife know if it worries you

I develop a heart murmur in pregnancy. At least I think I do, I'm pretty sure it's not a permanent thing. The OB picked one up during an antenatal visit when I was preg with Maya and I said I'd never been told I had a heart murmur before and he said sometimes it happens in pregnancy due to extra blood volume etc. I never heard anything else about it till I was admitted to hospital with hyperemesis with this pregnancy and the doctor again commented about a heart murmur, so I guess it is just something that happens for me during pregnancy.
