heartbeat

shertom

I had my 16 week appt today and the baby's heartbeat was 130 ... the last time i went at 12 weeks it was 160 - The dr. is not concerend w/ this, but i just wanted to see if anyone else has had such a change in a short period of time?

The heart rate goes down as the baby gets bigger.

My baby's hb varies because it's quite bit higher if he's jumping around than when he's just sleeping.

 Agreed - my Dr said that if the hb is betwen 120 and 160 it's completely normal and variations are due to baby's activity/inactivity at time of listening.
