fast heartbeat. Posted: 05-14-08 10:14am
My last drs appt my little mans heartbeat
was way too fast. the doc listened to it
just to make sure it WOULD slow down. It
did after about 5 mins. I have been
staying off caffeine except for like one a
week. Going on a walk everyday, trying to
eat good,at least trying to rest and put
my feet up for a bit even if I don't get
to take a nap. I don't know if it is
something I am doing to make it fast of if
he is just taking after his dad. My dh's
heartbeat tends to be fast at times. The
doc just asked me if he was active....most
definatly. In fact the whole 5 mins he
was there waiting for it to slow down he
was in constant motion. My doc looked at
me and was like you aren't kidding, he is
active. I love being able to feel him
move, but don't want anything to go wrong
cause of it. I have another appt this
friday, so just hoping it will all be back
to normal this week.
Oh and I get to have my baby shower on
Saturday!!!! I am so excited. my mom is
going to get to be here. Haven't seen her
since Feb.

At my 35 week appt my baby's heartrate was
160(same as 12 weeks) even though it's
supposed to slow down with age. I, too, am
wondering what his rate was. I'm sure he's
fine. I'm glad you get to see your mom!

I know this prolly is stupid of me, but to
be honest I didn't ask. He just put the
little thing on my belly and right away he
was like... whoo his heartbeat is fast.
So he just listened to it for about 5 mins
and said he just wanted to make sure that
it would slow down. And sure enough after
about 5 mins you could def tell it slowing
down.... a lot. It was my first appt to
go by myself in a long time so it kinda
freaked me out. I am so use to having
someone with me. Anyway, I don't know
exactly how fast it was. I am
giong to be sure to ask tomorrow and see
what his normal heartbeat is though.
