What is the cause of a pregnant woman's heart rate of 110?

Pregnant women are always the most worrying ones in the family. What does it mean when a pregnant woman's heart rate is 110? This is a concern of many friends who have pregnant women at home. They have to worry about the physical health of the pregnant woman, and whether the baby will have any problems due to the pregnant woman's physical condition. The normal heart rate of most people is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. What is the normal heart rate for pregnant women? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

After pregnancy, the pregnant woman's heart rate will increase due to changes in hormone levels, pressure from the enlarged uterus, and increased blood volume during pregnancy. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry. Just pay more attention to rest. However, if a pregnant woman experiences obvious palpitations and shortness of breath, feels palpitations with the slightest activity, and has difficulty breathing, it is recommended that she go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Women in the late stages of pregnancy often have this feeling: doing actions that normally do not make them feel very tired, will now cause their heart to pound and they to breathe heavily, which is the so-called palpitations and shortness of breath. This is because during pregnancy, a series of changes occur in the maternal circulatory system to adapt to the growth and development of the fetus.

In the late stages of pregnancy, the body's blood volume increases by 40% to 50% compared to when you were not pregnant, the heart rate increases by 10 to 15 beats per minute, and the heart's output increases by 25% to 30%. That is to say, the heart's workload is significantly increased compared to when you were not pregnant. In addition, in the late pregnancy, the uterus enlarges, causing the fibrous muscles to rise and push the heart to the upper left. In addition, the increase in weight of the pregnant woman and the vigorous metabolism further increase the burden on the heart. The body must increase the heart rate and stroke volume to complete the excess work. Increase lung ventilation by deepening and speeding up your breathing to take in more oxygen and expel more carbon dioxide. A normal heart has a certain reserve capacity to cope with the increased burden. Therefore, if a pregnant woman experiences palpitations and shortness of breath, she should not panic. She can relieve the symptoms by resting for a while. She can also lie on her side and take a nap for a while. Be careful not to lie on your back to prevent supine hypotension syndrome.

If there is no history of heart disease before pregnancy, and palpitations and shortness of breath occur in the last three months of pregnancy and cannot be relieved by rest, the possibility of peripartum cardiomyopathy should be considered. The palpitations and shortness of breath of peripartum cardiomyopathy mainly occur at night. The patient often cannot fall asleep in the middle of the night due to chest tightness and has to sit up to breathe, or often feels chest pain that is unrelated to exertion. If the above situation occurs, you should consult a doctor immediately.

Is it normal for a pregnant woman to have a heart rate of 110? Through the above explanation, I think everyone already has the answer. The heart rate of a pregnant woman will be faster than that of a normal person. However, if the heart rate is too fast, it is not good. You should go to the hospital for relevant examinations. If a pregnant woman occasionally has a fast heart rate, she can take a proper rest, which can also relieve the fast heart rate. If it cannot be relieved by herself, she should go to the hospital in time.
