BPM lower each visit?

Question

Each time I see he doctor the beats per minute goes down. I'm 14 weeks 2 days now. Our beats per minute started at 179, then it was 166, then it was 155, and now it is 146. The doctor said it depends on how active the baby is at the visit but he/she seemed the most active at our last visit. Anyone else have this happen??

Answer

Thank you everyone! I was nervous but it sounds like it's probably normal early on for big changes from what I'm hearing. I go back in a week I'm interested to see what it'll be this time.

Answer

Nothing to worry about! As it gets bigger it gets stronger and can pump more blood with each beat so it slows down. 9 weeks mine was 180, 13 weeks it was 160, 16 weeks it is at 140. I am 16-2 now

Answer

I started in the 150's and got into the 170's and now we have come back down to the high 140's. It is natural for it to lower the further along you get.

Answer

Mine has done the same thing it makes you worry ours started out at 9 weeks 166 then went to 10 and 3 days at 160, then about 12 weeks 156 then at 14 weeks 153 and now 143

Answer

Mine did the same thing and doc says that's normal and I'm 19w3d. Even on my at home Doppler it changes but the further you get the more steady it'll be (stays between 10 beats of the last time for me now)

Answer

I didn't pay much attention tbh I think my sons were about 145 mark. According to some gender prediction theories the less beats below 150 ish I think means a boy! I really don't think it's anything to worry about x
