Palpitations in pregnancy

Question

Asked for Female, 27 Years

Hi.. I'm 12 weeks pregnant and for the past 2 days I'm having palpitations. Like I feel I'm skipping a heartbeat or a fluttering sensation in the middle of my chest. It increases when I lie down than in sitting posture. Should I be worried about it? My hemoglobin and thyroid is normal.
