What causes a fast heartbeat in pregnant women?

Although getting pregnant after marriage is a happy thing, sometimes you may encounter various problems. Especially in the late stages of pregnancy, the legs began to swell, the body became heavy, and walking became clumsy, but these were all overcome. There is also a situation where the heartbeat is too fast in the late pregnancy, the pregnant woman feels very uncomfortable and cannot lie down to sleep. Let’s discuss what causes a pregnant woman’s heart to beat too fast.

What causes a fast heart rate in pregnant women?

As the pregnancy progresses, the mother's blood flow gradually increases, reaching a peak at 32-34 weeks of pregnancy. The heart bears more pressure due to the increased blood flow, so the heartbeat naturally speeds up. If the pregnant woman does not feel any abnormalities, it is fine. If so, go to the hospital for a physical examination in time.

Does a pregnant woman's fast heartbeat affect the baby?

During pregnancy, the heart burden increases and the heartbeat generally becomes faster. In addition, if it is a sinus heart rate that is too fast, it will not have a big impact and there is no need to worry too much.

However, if a pregnant woman has obvious panic, chest tightness and shortness of breath, such as feeling panic after a little activity, accompanied by difficulty breathing, it is recommended to see a doctor's obstetrics and gynecology department as soon as possible to see what is causing it.

Recommendation: Pregnant women should pay attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise. In addition, maintain a happy mood, increase nutrition, and don't eat foods that are too hot, too cold, or too spicy.

For pregnant women with abnormal heartbeats, doctors will use electrocardiograms, ultrasounds and other tests to determine the delivery conditions of pregnant women based on electrocardiogram activity, heart function, vascular function and heart structure. Of course, there are many factors that affect the choice of natural delivery, such as fetal position, pelvic size, uterine contractions, whether the fetus is lacking oxygen, the condition of the umbilical cord around the neck, and the size of the fetus. Even if everything is ready, it will be difficult to avoid some "lack of momentum" situations, so pregnant mothers must adjust their mentality and use calmness to overcome braking.
