Yes, I had the same. It started not long after I did my pregnancy test and carried on for 2-3 weeks. I read it’s because your body is trying to produce and pump much higher volumes of blood around the body. I think the stat was 50% more. Crazy! Congratulations on your pregnancy. 😀

If you are unsure, it’s always best to air on the side of caution and call a GP to check. It can’t hurt and will also put your mind at rest. I’m saying it’s normal because it can be a common symptom of pregnancy but I also have no idea about your medical history so it’s best to seek advice from a professional. I’m nearly 14 weeks. Feeling slightly more relaxed having got past the 12 week scan. 😀
