Please im in desperate need of answers plz help me!! 39 weeks.?

Question

Im 39 weeks and 1 day pregnant. Today I had my doctor appointment. We had a scare because he could not find her heartbeat but i felt her move and didn't understand why. So after i cried he got the u/s machine and he looked and there was her little heart beating at 125 bpm. Is that too low? He didn't say it was but im a new mom to be! So is that normal for almost due?

Another thing. How did you current moms feel? Its like i fear that she wont be alive at birth and I just am in denile I guess I cannot imagine her really being her physically, MY daughter being in my arms to hold. I just dont see it happening. Its like its not real. Is this normal.. how did you all feel with your firsts or with any of your kids? I think that if it is all ok and i see her well lets just say i cant imagine this really happeneing. Did anybody feel like this?? I need as many answers and stories as I can get. im due in 6 days.. and really just need so much advice from moms about the heartbeat and how you felt.. plz! Thanks in advance!

Answer 2

You are going to be an excellent mom!!  I know this because you are already soooo worried about the safety of your daughter!!  Every good mom worries!!  Now you are worried about her safely coming INTO the world and before you know it, you will be worried about her safely going OUT into the world!!!  You will worry about her first day of school, her first fever, her first crush, her first heartbreak.  You will worry about her finding out the truth about Santa, whether or not she is eating enough veggies and if she is happy with who she is!!  Good luck on your baby and may all of her dreams come true!!

Answer 3

The normal fetal heart rate ranges from 120 -160 beats per minute. So don't worry, your daughter is just fine.

I'm sorry that you had that scare.

Good luck to you!

Answer 4

Heart beat for babies can be anywhere from 120 - 160 bpm.  Don't worry.  It is completely normal for someone who is 39 weeks; Baby's heart beat could be low as it may be resting up for d-day!  Congragulations!!!!

Answer 5

First of all, it is normal for your baby's heart beat to slow down as you approach your due date and subsequent labour.  125bpm is perfect!

Yes, I also felt like my baby would never come.  I couldn't picture holding her or how she would look.  I felt like I was going to be pregnant forever.  It is completely normal to feel that way.  Once she is born, you are going to be blown away.  You'll be embarking on the ride of your life!!

Good luck and take care!

Answer 6

Hi, Congrats! One of my daughters was born on 8-27.  I had the same experience with her when she was young and I want to tell you what my doc told me.  When your pregnant the baby starts to mature in the womb.  A full term newborn has a slower heartrate then a fetus does, so towards the end of a pregnancy its very common to see the heart rate slow from what it had been early on.  It is a good sign and as long as it stays in the 110-160 range its fine.  I lost twins so I know how anxious the last few days can be, but hang in there and if you need to go in for any reason, even just reassurance then go, that is what they are there for.   Also, you can do kick counts at home, you lay on your side and focus on the time it takes to get 10 kicks, if it takes over 2 hours then call your ob right away.  Congrats again.

Answer 7

Yes, 125 bpm is fine.  Like someone said, 110-160 is normal.  If your dr didn't show any concerns then I'm sure there isn't anything to be concerned about.  Usually babies become less active the last few days before they are born.  There just isn't any room left plus they are saving up their energy for that big day.

Hang in there, you are almost there!!

Congrats!

Answer 8

That heartbeat does seem a little low, but if the doctor didn't comment on it maybe it's okay. But where she's running out of room to move it could slow her heart rate down. If your doctor saw any cause for worry then I think he would have admitted you to the hospital and took the baby by c section immediately. I know things are scarey, just hang in there and in a few days you'll have a precious little girl. I have 3 daughters and there is nothing like them.
