My first US baby was 180, my next was 158! Though both of my baby’s have been in the higher range and I’ve got one girl and one boy on the way 😂 heart rate is a myth but still fun!

My boy went from 158 at 7 week appt to 151 at my 12 week! I asked the same thing they said we and the baby have a range so guess it’s okay

yeah my ob was like as long as it’s not below 110 like ??? 110????

blood test said girl but that 1% could be wrong😂

Mine was 166 at 10 weeks then dropped to 152 at 12 weeks!! Sneak peak says girl!

My first heartbeat was 170, and then I just went for my appointment and it was 160. The doctor said that it was okay and that the baby was probably sleeping or not as active.

I think these comments prove the heartbeat theory is absolute crap 🤣

Totally normal lol at first my baby’s was 168, another time was 140, and then recently it’s 158. It’s going to fluctuate. My doctor said anything between the lower 100s and the high 100s is completely normal. ☺️

see my daughters never moved it was always 169 so that’s why I’m iffy 😂

My first HB was 143 then jumped to 179 and I’m assuming it’s gonna be all over that range for some time! All good :-)

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
