Hello All....just Checking In And Letting You Know How I Am Posted: 08-19-06 03:23am
Well I am 17 weeks and 1 day......Things
are going good......I have a question
though.....I had a scan done july 12th to
see how far along I was and the tech told
me the babys hb was 160, 2 weeks later I
went to teh dr and he told me that it was
140.....Then I went just this past monday
and hb was 130, the dr said it was normal,
has anyone else experienced this, he said
its ok but iam still concerned, when I was
pregnat with my son his hb didnt change
more then 5 bpm at any appt it was always
between 140-150
Aww congratulations.
The babies heartbeat is meant to be
between 120 and 160 bpm, so baby sounds
perfectly healthy to me. If your at all
worried about anything give your midwife a
call, thats what they are for :)

The baby's heartbeat fluctuates depending
on if they're resting, sleeping, or being
active. I was concerned earlier in my
pregnancy because my little guy has always
been around 150-160 and at my 18 week u/s
it was 128 when a week before it had been
155. Of course I freaked out because 128
seemed so low but then at my next
appointment a few weeks later it was back
in the 150's. I think it's also supposed
to go down as you get further along too (i
might be wrong but i'm pretty sure I read
that somewhere). At my 27 week
appointment it was in the 140's and I
forgot to ask what it was at my 29 week
one but i'm told everything is great. I
bet at your next appointment his hb will
be back up where you think it should be.
Maybe he was just snoozing last time.
I predict boy too!

misscarriages under my belt, I have my 18
week scan on aug 28th and I have requested
to know the sex of teh baby I will let you
all know as soon as I find out what it is
ok
another question though, when you first
felt moveement what exactly did it feel
like (i have not had teh butterfly
feeling) like most people say, the only
thing I have felt is like a light pushing
(pressure) feeling just below my bell
button....Anyone else had that? I should
knwo this stuff but I dont remember it all

the normal rate for a healthy fetus is
between 120 - 160 so your baby is fine..Gl
