" That sounds good to me too. I think the heart rate is highest at the beginning and then it gets slower the older the baby gets. "

" my baby started out in the higher range at that stage as well and then went to a more middle of the road to lower hb in my second trimester. It's all normal. Try not to look too much into these sort of things unless your dr. sounds concerned. You heard the heart beat whoooo hooooo! =) "

" Hi! Heartbeat is perfect! Don't want it 180 or above or below 100. My little one started at 117 and is now 150. No worries. "
