If doc said ok, then don't worry. If baby was moving around, you had lots of sugar, caffiene, etc, that could all make it a little on the high side. Mine has been around that many times when I checked or Dr. checked!
Only in the past few weeks(I have a doppler at home) have I caught it creeping down into low 160s and 150s.

At the 24 weeks appointment my boy was around that midwife said tis abit high but hes busy moving around she had to chase him around to get his heartbeat.
But I had another appointment last week and it was 130 he was sleeping

I'm sure the hearbeat is okay if the doctor's said it's fine. If you're really worried you could text your midwife to double check or mention it at the next appointment.

I haven't been told my baby's heartbeat at any appointments so far!

My LO's heart rate at my 16 week appt was 160-170. Its perfectly normal.

My last appt the heart rate was 171bpm. But my LO was moving round lots so that maybe why it was that high??? xx

you're fine. It's up in the 190s that they worry about.

My baby's heart rate was 160 the first time and I was worried then, but it slowed down later on. If your doctor said it's okay, then it's okay.

I read of the heartbeat last night and normal is a wide range, so rest easy... 120-180 is normal for the baby and 100 for the mother is about average... so it's a difference for sure. at 12 weeks my baby was 143bpm... so thats average... I heard a fast heartbeat typically means girl, so maybe you're carrying a team pink!!
