How many bpm should the heart beat be?

Last week my babys heartbeat was 165 bpm and this morning it was only 135 im just a little worried that something may be wrong is it normal for the babys heartbeat to flucuate?

Babies heartbeats do flucuate.  Its possible the baby was resting when you took its heartbeat in the morning.  They say anything 120+ is great, so i think you'll be just fine

Even though you've heard the heartbeat there is still a CHANCE that you can miscarry though it has decreased a lot.  As for the heartbeat...babys will start with a higher heart rate and continue to decrease until they level out anywhere from 120's to 150's.  I had an u/s on 1/3 it was 182 and on 1/26 it was 171.  Are you listening to the heartbeat at the doctor or with one of those home heartbeat things?  That could make a difference.
