Does a drop in resting heart rate mean something is wrong?

Question

My resting heart rate was slowly increasing, now it’s started decreasing. I’m scared it means miscarriage.

Answer

I did a lot of reading on this before and at the beginning of my pregnancy. As you get farther into the pregnancy your body gets better at adapting to the extra blood it is pumping so it’s normal for it to start lowering back towards your normal point

Answer

Were you asleep or just sitting on the couch when this happens? My heart rate will drop to 51 when I’m at rest and go back up to 70 when I stand. It’s all normal. Unless your heart rate drops so low to the point that you’re blacking out or getting dizzy.

Answer

I worry about this stuff too. Especially after two missed miscarriages. My heart rate went up until about 7 weeks then started decreasing around then. I think your body gets used to all the extra blood at some point. It ended up going back up with a vengeance then I freak out about that as well of course. If it makes you too anxious I would take it off. I didn’t wear mine for about a month because I was obsessing! If there was a direct and 100% correlated link then doctors would have you watch this but there isn’t and it can be different for everyone. 😕 just caused anxiety for me!

Answer

Your heart rate has nothing to with your baby’s health. Your heart is working harder to support your growing baby, don’t be surprised if it goes up higher. My resting heart rate ranges from 70bpm-130bpm, all normal.

Answer

Your resting heart rate can be anywhere from 60-90 bpm. No need to worry about your heart rate. Babies is more important
