Babies heart rate??

in November 2013 Moms
Call me crazy but this is my first pregnancy and I have been worried for the past week! Even though I had my last ultrasound and heard out little babies heart beat and saw them I worry... The first appointment when we heard the heartbeat it was 160 9 weeks this last one was 145 around 13weeks and 5 days is this normal? My doctor didn't seem worried she said it was normal and a good heartbeat.

I think me being a first time mommy to be is making me a worry wart. I've order a heart Doppler just to reassure myself Monday can't get here fast enough!! :/

    I think just hearing the heartbeat will reassure me is why I got it. And I've heard that ur second trimester sometimes feels like ur not pregnant due to the morning sickness and what not going away... I kinda wish I still had the symptoms still...

    ...you start feeling flutters and movements and baby bump during your 2nd trimester so I'm not sure how that feels like you're not pregnant.

    I'm 18 weeks and my last appointment baby's heart rate was 142. My doctor said it was good. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

    At 9 weeks fetal heart rate actually peaks at it's highest and will slow down a bit as baby grows larger. Around 9 weeks my LO had a HR in the 190's! Now it's typically in the 150's and 160's and all is well in there.

    I just had my anatomy scan and I am 19 weeks and the baby's heart rate was 146 then 140. She said that was exactly in the middle and totally normal! Good luck!

    Your baby's heart beat drops as it gets "older", this is what both doctors have told me. My LO started at 190, dropped to 172 then down to 155.

    Mine was 162 at 8 weeks and then in the 150s at 13 weeks and last week at 16 weeks it was 147.  Doctor said it was good.

    I was in the hospital for one month when I was pregnant with my DD, and they dopplered her heart several times each day. The heart rate changes constantly during the day depending on what LO is doing (awake, asleep, if you just ate, etc.) so it is never constantly at exactly the same rate. There is a wide range of "normal", so don't worry.

    ...you start feeling flutters and movements and baby bump during your 2nd trimester so I'm not sure how that feels like you're not pregnant.

    Except for the bump, and a bit of tiredness, there are days I absolutely do not feel pregnant. I have an anterior placenta, so it may well be that I don't feel any fetal movements until week 20 or even later.  So I can understand how some people can get anxious.

    If something was wrong your doctor will say. Their heartrate levels in time. 

     My Dr. also said that it levels off in time, and the last time I went mine was 138 BPM.  She said 120-160 is normal I believe?
