My wife is 38 weeks pregnant & after getting an ECG test done the report says there is sinus tachycardia with borderline ECG. Is it normal in 38 weeks pregnancy?

In pregnancy, heart rate (HR) increases by 25%; thus sinus tachycardia, particularly in the third trimester, is not uncommon. Ectopic beats and non?sustained arrhythmia are encountered in more than 50% of pregnant women investigated for palpitations while sustained tachycardias are less common at around 2?3/1000.
