Is it normal to have a faster pulse and heart palpations during pregnancy? not constantly, normally at night while im feeling anxiety.

Yes: Does appear to be a normal response, but ask your OB to check the pulse on your next visit.

Yes!!: Pregnancy is a hypermetabolic state and as such - you may feel heart beating faster at times - usually normal but if you are getting swelling or shortness of breath of any unusual pain - please be checked out by md!
