Fetal Heart Monitoring?

[magicteapot]

Is anyone elses little one having trouble with their heart? Mine keeps skipping a beat, then going back to normal, but tomorrow will be the third time I've had to go in for monitoring. Eek I'm scared

Can be lots of reasons but probably poor iron levels? Eat some broccoli and see if it gets better. Do you drink lots of caffeine? Think this is the major trigger for heart palpitations.

If you are worried, see your GP. Ive seen loads of these threads where the ladies turned out perfectly fine

Edit: Sorry, I thought it was you having the heart paliations, not baby. My bad

When I was around 20 weeks, my LO's heart kept dropping really low to around 20-30bpm and then speeding up to around 180, when his normal heart rate has been 140 or so.
We actually thought he wasn't going to make it, talk about scary.. but it eventually worked itself out and to this day I have no idea what was causing it.
I'd say try and not worry too much, especially if your LO's heart has been looked at ( ultrasound ) and there's no visible problem. It's probably just one of those "things."

I have to have a ctg in lo's heart every other day as his heart rate keeps going up n down x
