Yes: heart rate at rest is slightly higher in pregnancy than when not....but it usually is not noticed by patients. Breathing rate is also higher during pregnancy

Normal: Resting heart rates during pregnancy can change due to the expanding volume of blood and fluids that need to be moved through the system(you) at any given time.
