fetal heart rate at 36 weeks

[sophd]

I just had a scan today at almost 36 weeks and the baby's heart rate was 167 compared to other scans where it was more around 140. Is 167 still considered okay? I just thought it was high! Thanks!

its fine, i went for a trace last week and it was going up to 172 when she was having a wiggle.

I've been told anything from 120-170 is perfectly normal.

it's fine. steggie's heartbeat is usually around 140-150 when i see the midwife, but when i last had a trace (due to lack of foetal movement at about 35 weeks), her heartbeat ranged from 145-192. they weren't concerned.

My baby's hb was 156 yesterday whereas it's usually been between 140-150. Not that much higher so I wasn't concerned and neither was the midwife.
