ectopics or extra beats

does anyone else here have ectopic beats? I used to have them (infrequently) before getting pregnant but over the past few days have been noticing them quite a lot and they're really annoying!

i did use to has SVT which made my heart beat up to 200 bpm sometimes when i was younger - pregnancy does bring back more palpipations for me

i mentioned it last time and they sent me for some tests to see how it would affect my labour (it didn't by the way) so maybe mention it to your MW

maybe this won't help but bumping it up the threads in case anyone else has had it.

i've already had ecg, echo and 24hour tape about 3 years ago, and it wasn't anything structural then so i doubt it will be now either. seeing midwife on monday so will mention it in any case. thanks for replies

Yes Silver. It's a nuisance. I was diagnosed with a mitral valve prolapse years ago. In both my pregnancies I've had ecg's, echos, and a 24 hour tape (think they've lost this one though). This type they're saying it's not mitral valve, it's ectopic beats. I might have to have antibiotics in labour again.
