    bubs heartbeat on the lower side

    Im a little bit worried about my bubs heartbeat, although my midwife doesnt seem to be.
    At 24 weeks - HB 145 bpm
    At 28 weeks - HB 128 bpm
    At 31 weeks - HB 124 bpm

    Does this seem ok? It just seems to be a bit of a drop. Also, at earlier scans, the HB has always been around 145bpm.
    Am I just being paranoid?

    Those heart rates seem perfectly normal. Your baby's heartbeat limit are between 110-160bpm. So basically anywhere within these limits is fine. Sounds like your little bubba is doing really well.

    Hi Ubba
    Your baby’s heartbeat is fine. Normal rate should be between 110 and 160. 124 is perfect. A babies heartbeat is like ours, when we are resting it is slower than we are moving, your baby was probably just taking a rest.

    Thanks for your replies - you'd think a third timer would be more at ease....

    My babys heartbeat was about 156bpm at 12 weeks and I noticed last month it was only about 124bpm but they did not seem concerned so I'm not. It is comforting to see this thread and know it is normal though .
