A member asked:
Is an increase in resting heart rate normal in 1st trimester of pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A woman's cardiac output may increase by nearly 50% during the first trimester. A portion of this increase is attributable to an increase of resting heart rate. One might see an increase of 10 or 15 beats per minute.
