I had an ultrasound 3 days ago at 14w 5d and this little guy or girl was kicking and punching and dancing around like crazy. That day I was told its heart rate was 150 (measured by the ultrasound machine). After a little freak out I had yesterday I went into the ER to make sure everything was okay. They used a doppler to check the babys heart rate and I was told it was 136 (not counted by the doppler but insead by counting and looking at a watch). I asked if it was normal for it to drop so much in just a couple days and was told not to worry, it was still in the normal range and the baby could just be sleeping. I’m tring to tell myself that sounds possible cause if the baby was very active during my ultrasound its heart rate was bound to be higher than if he or she was sleeping during this visit. I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this and if this sounds possible to everyone else?
