Heart rate going down??

[sekhmet2013]

Hey everyone. I had my first ultrasound last week at exactly 12 weeks. Everything looked good, and the heart rate was 170bpm. Today, I'm 13w1d and had my NT scan. Again, baby was moving about and looked good, but the heart rate was only 145bpm. The tech said it was good, but this was in a different office than my OB, so I don't think she knew what the rate was last week.

Should I be worried that the heart rate was 25 beats slower today?

No. Baby could have been more active when u heard it at 170. Could have been sleepy when at 145. Anything between 120-180 is good. Try not to stress, I know it's hard!

No, it can fluctuate depending on what LO is doing in there. When I wa sin for monitoring with my DD her heartrate was between 130-190bpm!

That's what I figured, thanks guys! I just can't help being paranoid and over analyzing everything. Every time something happens that should ease my mind, I find something else to worry about.
