Should i be concerned if i feel like my heart is skipping beats in pregnancy?

Yes: Most pregnant women are exceptionally healthy, and handle a pregnancy without difficulty. But, believe it or not, pregnancy can put a huge amount of stress on a heart over 9 months, so any cardiac symptoms should not be ignored. Skipped beats, extra beats, chest pain, or unexplained shortness of breath should be brought to the attention of your doctor.

Common but....: Although it is common it still needs to be checked out by your doctor.
