Concern about heart rate.

So I have been frequenting the doctor every two weeks. I am currently pregnant with twins and have noticed one of the babies heart rate seem to be decreasing. One baby tends to stay in the 150-160's and the other has decreased from the 154 and is now 134. I was wondering should I be concerned with that. The technologist who did the ultrasound doesn't seem to worried and when she took the report to the MD they didn't seem to worried. I am not sure if they are monitoring or notice that the numbers are decreasing or as long as it's normal they are not concerned. Should I be concerned. Any feedback.

I had a few early scans with my fertility specialist - heard the heartbeat second time - and then switched to a regular GYN and had a scan with a technician. We heard heartbeat and when I asked what the rate was, she said it changes constantly - I assume up and down - so it's not relevant as long as range is normal. I still just wanted to know, of course, but it was good to know it's so variable. Congrats on your twins!

No, they are both perfectly normal. Babies heart rates usually run between 120-160

The heartbeats for both babies is in the normal range so i don't think you need to be worried.
