A member asked:

Is it safe for my heartrate to climb above 140 beats a minute during pregnancy?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Transiently: Don't panic if you notice your heart rate has climbed above 140. You can simply slow down your pace in order to bring it back down again.

Yes: But if this happens very often or stays up very long it should probably be further evaluated. In the mean time eliminate caffiene from your diet if you havent already.
