What is your babies heart rate around 37 weeks?

[mod19]

Sitting waiting to be seen at the dr and her heart rate is only 116. Up until last week it was always in the 150s-160s, last week was at 148. Im freaking out a bit wishing she'd come in so I can ask her about it. Please tell me it's still normal for a drop like that.

140 at my 36w4d appt. it had always been 150-170. My next appt is tomorrow.

I think the drop is normal at the end from what I've been told. Hope all is well and you get relief when your dr comes in and you get to talk with him or her.

Well they sent me up to l & d for more monitoring. They got her heart rate to accelerate, but it stayed that way and never went down... So hanging out here for awhile.

I'm nearing 36 weeks and for the last 2 weeks I've found my baby's heartrate to be around 120-130 sometimes. Before it was always 140-150.

My Dr. Says it's fine and the lady who does my non stress tests says there is a wide range of what is normal for any baby and that she didn't find it concerning. She said things like how deeply they're asleep can affect the
Bpm. I know how you feel, though. I wish it would stay the same the last couple of months just so we don't drive our sleeves nuts! Let us know how you get on xx

Well I'm home now and all is well. Hb stayed between 110 (when resting ) and 160 (when moving) so all was good.
