My baby's heartbeat was only 125 at my last check up at 30 weeks. It's a girl...not that it matters. Normal?

Question

If it is low...what could it mean? Just seems low to me...it hasn't been under 140s since I was 6 weeks along.

Answer

I'm having a boy, but his ranges from high to low. Last appointment it was in 120's this week at my 38 week appointment it was in the 150's. As long as your doctor doesn't show any signs of concern I would say it's fine.

Answer

There is no consensus about the normal fetal heart rate. Current international guidelines recommend for the normal fetal heart rate (FHR) baseline different ranges of 110 to 150 beats per minute (bpm) or 110 to 160 bpm.Jun 4, 2013
