I had a doc appointment last monday and my baby's heartbeat was 142. I ask if is is nornal because it use to be around 150's the entire pregnancy. She said any heartbeat between 110 and 160 is fine. But I guess if your doc isn't concerned about, no worries.

My daughter's is 160 i think yours sounds fine.  My doctor says that heart rates fluctuate but if your doctor wasn't alarmed I wouldn't be either. They'll let you know
