Heart rate concern

[klshaw90]

Last week my baby's heart rate was 180, today it was 122...I'm a little concerned. That that's bad?

Baby is probably just being lazy. 120 is still in the norm.  =)

Same here! Totally normal. Mine little guy was 150's one week, 120 the next, then 180 the next. It made me panic at first but they reassured me its perfectly normal. In fact you want to see fluctuations. Especially when he/she is active.

My first ultrasounds babies heart beat was 156 every month its changed and one time it reached 120, doctor said it was normal and that it does depend on babies activities

Thanks! That makes sense!

Its normal for bubs heart rate to raise and fall.
180 could mean bub is active and 122 could be resting.
I was in hospital Friday night and they had a CTG monitoring bubs heart rate. It would be steady at 135-145bpm then jump up to 180-190bpm then back down to 125bpm. I think the biggest jump was from 144bpm straight to 212bpm. It all depends on what bub is doing in there :)
If you're worried, see your gp or obgyn. But I wouldn't stress over it.
