Fetal heart rate at 18 weeks 127 - should I be worried?

Question

Had a scan today. Heart rate was 127. I am 18+3

Is that too low??? Doc seemed to think it was good but I am still concerned!

Answer

Seems fine! If the doctor isn't worried, you shouldn't make yourself crazy worrying either! Heart rate varies at different points in the day. Baby's heart rate was 135 around 10 weeks and I freaked out, but he/she is still going strong! Don't worry :)

Answer

Mine has varied at every appt. and dr said can be anywhere between 120-180. Just depends what he or she is doing in there. They have sleep cycles just like we do :)

Answer

Normal are you having a boy? That's close to what my last scan was 132 we are having a boy.

Answer

Don't be worried we were told today by my doctor that it ranges from 120-160. My baby girl is always 150 nowadays.

Answer

I have been so worried and waiting for every movement since then!

My midwife says anything between 110 and 160 is normal.

I thought the Same thing. I met with my doc last week and heart rate was 130. I've gone and it's 140 or 160....  He said its normal and just like our heart rates go up and down and don't stay the same the baby is the same way

Answer
