please post your latest fetal heartrate...I'm 18 wks and mine is 135

it started out as 145 at 9 wks, then 140 at 13 wks, is it normal that it keeps going down?

    Yep, the larger they get the more "normal" the heartrate gets.  I think my baby's was like 169 at 8 weeks and now at 22 weeks its down to 143.

    At my appointment last month, we heard the heartbeat, but they didn't tell me how fast it was going... just that it was great and strong. Is that weird?

    Same trend for my baby. It was 167 at 9 weeks, 140 at 12 weeks and 130 at 16.5 weeks.

    Normal range is between 120 and 160 from what I've read. Mine have been 148, 145, 152, 157.

    Around 28 weeks it's normal for it to drop a little bit. My midwife told me in the last few weeks a boys is usually lower (i think that's what she said).

    Thanks everyone, I feel a lot better.  I know I should have brought that up with the nurse at the time, but I feel good about it now!! :) thanks again
