If your doctor isn't worried, I wouldn't be.

I'm going to predict boy ;)

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!

Ty for all the answers.....This has just been a tough pregnancy for me with two 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 been 6 years since I had my son

I been feeling that alot lately too. I had a butterfly feeling bout a week ago but since then it feels like some kind of pressure below my button. I dunno if its movement from the baby or what lol. Maybe someone will give us some answers cuz I would like to know also :) I just know mine isnt gas lol.

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