Heartbeat question

[AirForceMomma]

Hello all~
I was wondering if it's normal for the baby's heart rate to go down a little as they get bigger? My little girl's started in the 150's and now it is 135. I think she was sleeping, because she wasn't moving around much. I'm 25 weeks and the doctor didn't seem concerned. I just like to worry about everything xD

Thank you so much! She wasn't moving when they were using the doppler, so I'm assuming she was asleep. I'm wishing I bought a home doppler to ease my mind, but oh well.

My ob said it was normal she said it depends on what they are doing . If they are being active the heart rate will raise if they are just resting it will slow a bit just like ours do . I was worried too so I asked

Yes its normal.  My sons this whole time was in the 160's and the last couple weeks it has gone down....150's then 140's.  And he has an irregular heartbeat so I asked her if it is normal and she said ask they get closer to coming it goes down to more of a newborn heartbeat and it depends on if they are resting.  But anything above 120's is good.
