Please forgive me if this is a stupid question - I am 32 weeks. Ever since the beginning of my pregnancy my heart rate been high and they have never said anything bad about it so I assumed it was normal. Well I have had a stressful week so far and today I got news that I lost my stepfather. I been very upset over the death and felt real bad all day. I realized I felt weird and took my blood pressure with my moms heart moniter (she has a bad heart so she has a very good moniter gaven to her by a dr) My bloodpressure was pretty high for me 148/98 and my pulse was 135 while sitting. Her moniter also alerts you to if your hearts out of rythem and it said that as well. All day today I have had that feeling like my heart is pounding in my chest. I have tried relaxation techniques so far no luck.
Should I worry about the heart rate? I am having some issues with my ob (starting to wish I had choosen a different practice) so I dont know really what to do. I havent felt the baby a lot today compared to normal days. I just worried so forgive me if it a stupid question
heartbeat - mother,
