<r>Congratulations!!! <br/> <br/> Well, we can only really give you "been there, done that" advice, and it sounds like you've got a fair go at being healthy durring pregnancy already! <br/> <br/> Do make sure you run all diet plans past your doctor, though.

I'm sure you can get all kinds of related experience from ladies on the boards in that regard --anemi...

<t>I don't remember what's been going on for you, but I too had heart palipitations and a fast heart rate. It seemed to show most in my second pregnancy and then kind stuck around afterward, though to a lessened extent. I too had cardiac testing (labs, cardiac echo, EKG, holter monitor, etc) durring...
