Expectant mothers often complain of tachycardia during pregnancy. Heart palpitations can cause many problems, but this cannot be attributed to a threatening condition - during this period, the heart rate for the body changes somewhat, and an increased pulse during pregnancy is common.
It is necessary
- - a device for measuring pressure;
- - consultation with a gynecologist.
Instructions
Step 1
The female body constantly undergoes changes during pregnancy - for example, the volume of blood pumped by the heart increases significantly. At the end of pregnancy, the volume of blood increases by about one and a half liters, and the heart has to get used to such a load - this explains, first of all, the increase in heart rate. From this we can conclude that an increase in heart rate during pregnancy is an absolutely normal condition.
Step 2
Of course, there is a certain rate to increase the heart rate. For each woman it has its own - the pulse can increase by no more than 15 units. If a woman had a normal heart rate before pregnancy, for example, 90 beats per minute, then 100-105 will be normal during gestation.
Step 3
Heart rate readings peak in the third trimester. At this stage, all organs of the child are already fully formed, and he only needs to grow and get stronger. The volume of blood circulating in the mother's body, through which the baby receives oxygen, as well as vitamins, trace elements and minerals, makes the heart work at an accelerated rate. The mother's pulse at this time can reach 110-115 beats per minute - this is normal.
Step 4
You should be wary only if the pregnant woman, in addition to complaints of an increased pulse, has others. It can be dizziness, nausea and weakness, loss of consciousness. In such cases, it is necessary to undergo an examination to find out the cause of these symptoms. The gynecologist may prescribe medications that contain trace elements or have a calming effect. But you should not get too carried away with their reception either.
