Could be a sign: Could be a sign you need to slow down on the caffeine and nicotine. Let your doctor know about the change and they will know what else to check.

What should I do if I have a thyroid condition and I want to conceive?

Get stable first: Thyroid conditions are common. They don't necessarily mean problems during pregnancy if your condition is treated adequately before and during pregnancy. So get diagnosed and treatment and, once stable, feel free to get pregnant.

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.
