Is my babys heart rate normal?

fithen13 · June 2015

I'm now 20 weeks pregnant and have been told that in theory I have marginal placenta previa. In the beginning my babys heart rate was 166 bpm then went down to 151 bpm. Then I had some old blood clots come out and when they used the doppler read 185 bpm. No one seems concerned but after hearing that it dropped down to 134 I'm feeling a little worried. Is this normal?

It's normal. If your dr is not concerned then why would you be?

Normal heart rate is 120-180 beats per minute. You also need to see variation if the fetus is active.

I went in to the delivery a week ago and my doctor said anywhere from 120 to 160 was normal, or there abouts

No. 180 is upper normal resting fetal heart rate. It can briefly be higher for fetal activity.

120-180 is normal ! My sons would go up to 167-176 at times !

If you're concerned, please call your doctor, for both your sake and the sake of your baby. We have no way of knowing what is appropriate for your specific condition.

It's completely normal. Baby's heart rate will fluctuate. Just like ours does, when we are sleeping or during activities.

I think normal is 120 to 180? Mines always in the 130s.

I went to my latest appointment and the heart rate is back down at 134 bpm. This is my second baby but I have never had any issues and my 1st sons heart rate never left the 150s. Now if the little booger would move a little more for me.
