my LOs heart rate is always about 140... quite weird really... always seems to be around the same!! my MW said its fine between 130- 170 but shes not the greatest MW so she could be wrong lol xx

il make sure i take notice again on monday when im back at the fau i doubt very much they will do it when i see the consultant on thurs at least then i will have summat to compare it to. though i definatly dont remember it being that high last week thought it was more between 140 - 150

they say anything between 120 and 160 is normal and your babys heart beat goes down when s/he is asleep

My babba's has always been between 150-160 which I thought was fast as the books say lower but it has been the same all through pregnancy and both doc and midwife assure me its fine, "a good strong heartbeat" they tell me! Try not to worry m'dear.
