Should I be concerned???

Question

I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant I had an appointment yesterday and they checked my baby’s heart rate. It was 128 which I know is ok but it hasn’t been that low my whole pregnancy.  Even last week it was about 140 something. Should I be concerned?

Answer

Baby was probably just sleeping. Mine has ranged between 170-120 during our NSTs and ultrasounds

Answer

It is a snapshot. Just like your own heartbeat it changes like every second. If baby is sleeping the heartbeat is lower and if he is active it can go up to 180. So to ‘measure’ a heartbeat you need a CTG, which takes approximately half an hour.

Answer

That is nothing to be concerned about. Your baby’s heart rate fluctuates between 120-160 constantly.

Answer

I had the same exact reading doctor said he is okay just resting scared me a little because he normally reads 140 or above
