As alot of you know i got the hang of using my doppler and i check in on LO once a day and take a reading of the HB. The first time it was about 158bpm then it went up too 160bpm then yesterday it was 152bpm then today its 148bpm?? I dont understand this at all could there be something wrong??

Nope sounds fine to me. Maybe you should chill out on the doppler though, you're going to make yourself paranoid!!!

Your baby sleeps and rests just like you do. You could be catching him/her when they're resting or not active, which could account for the lower heart rate

Lol and here's me thinking that once a day was good for me lol. I guess its cause of my previous losses i am checking everyday and plus this is the furthest i have got! but i will try calm down a bit on it. And thanks for putting my mind at rest. the thing you said about resting ect makes sense now xx

Well it is understandable that you would want to check. Frig, if I had a doppler I'd be doing it all the time! But what if you can't find it right away one day!? You're going to send yourself into a huge panic and baby will probably just have moved or something! Not saying you shouldn't be using it though, but I wouldn't want you to send yourself into a panic over something that doesn't need to be paniced over!!

But yes, baby does sleep

Lol very very true, Maybe i should check in every 3/4 days??

I feel daft now not even considering the fact that the baby sleeps most of the time lol

hey girls I want a doppler too..:sad:...I can use any one...

This is totally normal - and infact good. Some fluctuation in the hb is considered desirable. It will change with bubs activity, sleep etc.

However, I agree with the other ladies. It is best not to use the doppler too much. Maybe once every other day and try to use it at the same time each day - that way you will notice LO's patterns and also not tick LO off with the darn thing.

Are you just counting it yourself hun?

I know i get mine on an average of 160 so i always give or take a little bit.

I only use mine maybe once or twice a week though to stop me over analysing things lol

Ywah iuse the stopwatch on mobile and count for 15 then times it by 4. Maybe i should calm down before i become a doppler addict lmao

babezone
