thanks everyone lol. I just checked the heartbeat again, sitting up a little and I didn't hear it again. I'm starting to think it has something to do with the baby compressing on the umbilical cord. so I think I'm gonna sit up a little more when hearing the heartbeat

Just think about when you get to walking fast/running, your heart rate picks up. Same thing goes for your little one. Just means that baby was moving around! I wouldn't say it is anything to be worried about :)

okay. yeah, it doesn't stay that low.. I actually don't know how low it even gets for that few secs. but baby's heartbeat overall Is always 147 to like 155 and goes up to maybe 160 when baby is completely moving around. I could be picking up the umbilical cord , too. idk. will ask my doctor tho. @xaviermom1221. and @aliyah_a ,mine is a sonoline b fetal Doppler. I got it off ebay.

where did you get the dopplar?

Anything that stays below 115 is bad. (Stays) it's aloud to drop that now here and there but it's not concerning unless it stays that low

thanks, y'all. when I go in for my next appointment, I plan to ask my doctor about it. I know that at 16 weeks, the heartrate decreases a little but it just creeper me out the last few times I heard it slow down. it almost sounded like mine, but it was still too fast to be mine, and it lasted for 3 secs and increased to its original rate which is 147 @xaviermom1221 @mamalamadingdong

That's normal. When they move it's supposed to go up. The slowing down is when baby stops moving. Completely normal girly!

Totally normal. In fact, that's exactly what they look for during NSTs (non-stress tests.) When baby moves around or exerts energy, the heart rate should pick up.

I read somewhere that's it's normal, but idk if it's normal for 16 weeks
