Baby's Heart Rate So today at my checkup, the baby's heart decel'd for a bit. Not long but it DEFINITELY dropped pretty…

My daughter's heart rate did this. I freaked myself out over it , but it turned out to be nothing. She's a healthy teething 5 month old now.

My sons did!

I was also high risk and they also wouldn't do the level two sonogram until 23 weeks!

They just listened a little longer each appointment after!

If you are concerned get a Doppler they are only $30

Did they tell you what the rate was? Dd did this at one of my ultrasounds and I was scared bit she was fine. Probably asleep the tech said.

Yes. I would always listen on the Doppler and both my boys heart rate would go 100-115 for a couple seconds. Sometimes it went down to 90 and jumped back right up. I told my OB about it and he said that when he would listen to the heart rate a lot of babies would drop n then come back up. He told me not to listen to be heartbeat anymore because I would just freak myself out!

I have a home Doppler. I try to only use it 2x per week. It makes me nervous. ??

At my last appointment my doctor said they actually want the heart rate to change, I was 26 weeks at the time. She listened for awhile to make sure it was varying

Laying flat can decrease blood /oxygen to baby. Something about positioning of the cord. This is why exercising has to be moved to an incline while pregnant. I think it's genuine. Do some research. I'll try and look up some that I had done and forward. Hugs.

Thanks ladies! I started feeling baby kick a lot yesterday so I think, as long as that keeps up, my anxiety should settle a bit. ☺️

Try not to worry mama, prayers for a healthy happy pregnancy, baby and delivery. ??
