I would check BP to rule out bleeding. 110+ is pretty high even though it's normal to have higher heart rate, I think.

CO = HR X Stroke vol

In pregnancy CO inc's upto 50% so both HR and SV inc too. And HR inc's by 20beats/min in the third trimester.

upper limit of normal . //a good clinician will evaluate all cardiovascular parameters as 92306 is hinting at.
