[mandyloo87]

im nearly 39 weeks and went in for my check up today and when my doctor checked the baby's heartbeat it was really fast sounded way faster then ive heard it before, she didnt say how fast though. He is engaged and really really low and my doctor wasnt concerned but its freaked my out a little any advice please :(

I was just at the hospital and they had a heart rate monitor on her to see how fast her heart rate was and it fluctuated from 130-180 and the nurse said this is normal because sometimes the get really excited and active and when they sleep it becomes slower I'm 34+1 hope this helps :)

I think if it.was bad they would have said somethijg. I had a non stress test the other day and.baby girls heart beat was going all.over the place all the way up to 166 nd her heartbeat hasn't been that fast since like Nov or Dec. It's always 130-140s. And Dr said everything.was great. I'm 35+3 so not as far as u but. I think ur fine hun:)

i think fast is good, and slow is bad. if the heart rate was too fast im sure your doctor wouldve said something
