Pregnant. Had Heart Pounding Sensation. Emergency?

Hi I am 9 months pregnant and last week i was eating lunch at work and it was weird all of a sudden my heart starting pounding like really fast and It did it for probly 30 seconds and it finally slowed. I asked my OB what was up with my heart doing that and she couldnt give me a straight answer she just told me if it does it again but longer to go to the emergency room.

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

If this occurred once before, you were evaluated by your doctor, and it has never happened since, then there is no reason to worry at this time. If you are saying that it is happening again, then you definitely need to be seen. It is possible that this was related to a combination of position and what you were doing at the time.

I hope that this helps. If you have more questions, please click on "ASK ME A QUESTION" link above to directly ask me a question!
