I have that too, sometimes when I get up my heart races, then I panic, and it goes from there. Id call in to the emerg. see what they say, then make sure you speak to your Dr about it at your next Appt. My Dr said "well thats not really normal" but i nothing about it.

Well I went to the dr and they gave me an EKG but it didnt show anything because if it doesnt happen when they do it, its almost impossible to show up in EKG. They did order a heart monitor for me for 24hr study,I get it monday. My dr said that my heart does tend to race alittle higher than normal, but because I tend to have anxiety that my body produces more adrenaline so that could make it beat harder and also the extra blood flow to the baby makes my heart beat faster. Funny thing was is that my dr told me to try to exercise so when the baby comes I wont be out of breath pushing and I told him that when I exercise I get even more out of breath and my heart races even harder. All in all he said I should only concern when I actually pass out and that hasn't happened.
