Ectopic Heartbeat

[jadey_fae]

Help. Really scared. Saw my MW yesterday and she had a listen in to baby. Good strong heartbeat but twice in the two minutes she was listening in we heard the heart rate slow right down and then jump bk up again to normal. She said he might have been playing with his cord etc and said it was called ectopic heartbeat. Any one else heard there babies heartrate slow down then jump bk up?

Anyone?

It's quite normal. The rate is not supposed to be constant it's only if it dips below 90 and stays there for a while.
