Hi
With a history of Pre-eclampsia in last pregnancy, its always advisable for repeated and early follow ups. Even the problems you are stating, in 5% cases are associated with preeclampsia, so despite to taking risk, its better you consult your primary physician.
At the bottom line, palpitations are very common in pregnancy, and are in most of cases harmless.
