I don't know 'why' it is, but I saw a special on pbs or something about conception thru birth and the fetus' hearts start beating really, really fast then slow down as they mature. I'll bet it stays at 140ish now.

I don't know why it does that either. Mine did the opposite. It started out around 120 and last time it was 163!

The smaller a living thing is, the faster the heartbeat.
Ie sparrows heart- mega fast- elephants- mega slow.
As your baby grows, the heart becomes stronger and therefore pumps more blood around, when it is smaller, the heart needs to beat faster to get the same amount of blood around her little body.

Sounds like she's coming along nicely.
I'd say stop worrying, but I know you won't rest easy 'till you are hoding her in your arms will you!

You are so right I dont think I will be able to stop worring...Until I have the little one in my arms...And as is turns out I have been having another worry....Today I have been having stomach pain, I dont remember experiencing it with my son

the pain sort of feels like a dull ach and only really seems to bug me when I breath deeply if I am sitting in certain positions.....Anyone else experienced this before, if so I would be glad to hear about it to ease my mind.....If it helps any I am about 15 weeks
