Hi I am pregnant with my second child, my daughter is 18 months, I had some complications at the end of my pregnancy with her resulting in 5 wks of bed rest. I am starting to experience some of the same symptoms that I had with her. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced tachycardia during their pregnancies. Last night I was just picking up around the house and my pulse was up to 140 beats/min. I went through all kinds of test with my first pregnancy and was told that this can happen. I am so worried about going on bed rest again how will I do it with a very active toddler.

Thanks for letting me know, because I prayed and would've worried if I hadn't heard back!

Thanks for your concern, I had a prenatal check last Friday and it is as I suspected the same thing that happened with my daughter. The doc said just to take it easy, no bed rest yet. My blood pressure is still good. So for now its just annoying but not life threatening.

You call family, friends, church, you get help with that toddler and you go to the Doctor NOW! Please don't try to diagnose yourself, your whole family is at stake! Promise me you'll go to the Dr.!

God bless, I'm praying now that 9 days after you wrote this it's already taken care of!
