Maternal Heartrate
My wife is currently 11 weeks pregnant and up to last night things have been very smooth. Last night her heart beat started going pretty quick. I noticed it when we were laying down and she stated she thought it was weird too. I assume it calmed down as we went to bed normal time.
This morning her heart was beating quick when she woke up so I timed it and was getting about 200bpm. Now the weird part is within 15 minutes of being awake it dropped to a normal rate of roughly 95bpm.
We called her OB right away to see if we should go to the ER or what and they took 5 hours to get back to us to say go to the ER. We are current sitting waiting to get checked out, but she is totally normal again so I doubt they'll do anything but send us on our way.
Has anyone been through something similar or have any ideas of what may cause this? We are of course getting a doctor opinion, but anything to put my mind at ease in this waiting room be great.
