Question

Lol I know you're a midwife! 
Come help a crazy mum to be!!

Or anyone else who has good advice!!

I'm 24 weeks and 1 day and had a midwife appointment. She felt my baby and everything was fine. I feel her moving often also. The midwife was happy with everything but now I'm home my mind is in overdrive. Babies heart rate last week was 140, today was 126? Is this ok and is this normal? I know if the midwife was concerned she would have said but I can't help but panic!

Answer

I'm not a midwife but the babies heartbeat can vary based on activity level. I've had two u/s that showed heartbeat at 175 but when my doctor listened with the doppler at my early in the am appt the heartbeat was
155. I'm sure all is ok! Your doctor would have said something if it wasn't normal

Answer

Heartrate varies- babies have sleeping and active times even in your tummy! If you are super concerned, call the midwife- these are questions she would be more than happy to answer. I wouldn't be worried if I were you, All the best- ??

Answer

Babies hearts rates start off very high but eventually slow down to a more normal pace once they are further along. Totally normal!
