this morning i went to the birth centre coz i was worried about bubs movements but when they put me on the monitor bubs hb was going between 195 and 200 setting off the machine... it stayed between 180 and 200 for quite a while still setting off the machine but the midwives just kept coming and stopping it... they told me its because i have a cold and baby was reacting to it so they put me on a drip.. her hb then fluxuated between about 150 and 180 they ended up letting me off the monitor once i had a base hb of 155... they let me go home just told me to keep up the fluids but i am really worried coz how will i even know if its going that high again?? and what kind of damage could that do to the baby? i'm really freaked out about the whole thing!!! bubs hb has always been a bit of a fast one usually sitting between 150 and 170 but this really has me freaked out because the first midwive who put it on was just staring at it when it was up around 195 then asked someone else to look at it who didn't tell me anything either, they both looked worried but wouldn't tell me anything just assuring me it was because i had a cold but i didn't have a temp or anything?? sorry its so long i am just really scared and confused!!!!
