Is anyone else`s pulse higher during pregnancy? I am 38 weeks and my pulse has been about 80-85 beats per minute these past couple of weeks. What are everyone else`s at rest?

brandi j. - 107 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My pulse is always high! I'm not sure if it is higher when I am pregnant or not, but when I was in labor w/ baby #2, my doctor had to do a double take at the monitor to see which pulse was mine and which was my baby's, b/c my heartrate was at 120!! I do know that it is usually in the 100's, just don't know if it is higher during pregnancy, but it does make since for it to be since our bodies are having to pump so much more blood. Isn't it amazing!!

tsj824 - 107 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My pulse rate has always been high, but now that I'm pregnant (37 weeks) my pulse is really high. I checked my blood pressure the other day and my pulse rate was 114. It is normal for it to be higher while pregnant.
