Fast heart beat and breathlessness

Hi Mummies! Anyone experience fast heart beat/palpitations with breathlessness during their 3rd trimester? It gets worse every time after eating. Really uncomfortable feeling like feeling so unfit. #pleasehelp #firstbaby #pregnancy

I experience this too! I believe it's normal, as our body is working harder to give oxygen and blood to baby. I experience breathlessness after walking even short distances, and fast heartbeat, especially in the morning while and after eating breakfast. My heart also beats fast when i go for my appointments with gynae, as I'm excited and anxious to see baby in the scan! It is an uncomfortable feeling, but taking deep breaths helps. Good to rest when feeling breathless too. Jiayou! :)
