Heart rate: In pregnancy, the amount of blood pumped by the heart increases by 30 to 50%. As this increases, the heart rate at rest speeds up from a normal rate of about 70 beats per minute to 80 or 90 beats per minute. If the baseline is higher, so will be the pregnant levels. After movement or anything that is not pure rest, a heart rate of 100 is not unexpectedly high. See your doctor with your concerns.
