Did anyone notice that they had a lower than normal pulse postpartum? I always had a pretty high resting heartrate (in the 80s and 90s), but now it's in the 50s! So odd, and definitely a change since having LO. I'm going to mention it to my OB, but I was curious if anyone else noticed something similar postpartum.

They never checked my heart rate, so I don't even know what my resting heart rate is so can't help you there. Maybe it's lower because your body isn't working as hard to pump and circulate blood for you AND the baby? Was your heart rate in the 80's/90's pre-pregnancy too?

@Alivoo01: That was my thought too... now it's not working as hard so it's lower. My pulse has always been kinda high, even before I was pregnant. A lower pulse is healthier, so that's a good thing I guess!
