Hello everyone, wanting to gather some thoughts as my appointment with a specialist isnt until the 22...
During my 20week anatomy scan the tech mentioned that my sons heartrate was a little tachy, going from 160ish to 172. She asked the dr to come look, he told her it was fine w/o checking. Had another ultrasound four weeks later, same thing happened so the tech talked the dr into putting through a referral for a specialist for an in depth ultrasound. (Tricare).
Babys heartrate has been 150-170 whole pregnancy and both of my two other boys were around the same. I wasn't worried until I saw my regular dr finally and I asked her what she thought and she said it was high at 165. I don't know why she had never mentioned that before now, being that I am 25 weeks.
So after all that rambling, has anyone else experienced this? I never thought that was high and am starting to freak out a tad. I do have one cup of coffee a day, which I was told was fine but am thinking I should stop even though my dr had no opinion on the matter. (Gotta love military drs).
Re: Fetal tachycardia
Not looking at my book, but I believe that's within range. 190 is tachy
I understand being stressed out, but I think that you should do your best to try to stay calm and see what the specialist says. Believe me, I know that's easier said than done… But as an adult with tachycardia, I can tell you that it's not always a worst case scenario.
Sending thoughts and prayers your way.
