Q: Anyone know anything about pulse rates ???

So I was in the store waiting on my daughters perception and I thought I'll check my blood pressure which was 117/62 that seems ok but my pulse was 108 !!! Lord is that even normal , seems so high . Idk if I should be concerned or if it is bc I'm preganant and the heart has to work harder . Anyone else have high pulse rate ?

Ahh Thank you , I just don't remember my pulse very being at this range with my other 3 or maybe I just never paid attention to it ! i will mention it to him on the 10th at next appt . I'm happy my blood pressure is still normal , when I re did it at home watching tv I got resting 100 . I guess your body is runnin a marathon keep the babies growing and feed and healthy put a strain on the heart , I did read the body work as hard as a marathon runner even when we aren't doing anything !
Thank u for ur help !

I had this question to, the answer I came up with after various google searches was that your heart rate DOES increase during pregnancy and they say your cardiac output continues to increase and peaks at 28-35 weeks.

My resting heart rate at this moment is 99 I'm 18 weeks 6 days today. My blood pressure at this moment is 122/76. My doctor seemed to think this was fine at my last visit.
