Re: heartbeat
When you say drop, what do you mean? I was told the heartbeat changes constantly, depending on time of day, etc... I'm 10 weeks w twins & so far they'd increased in the beginning & now both seem to stay in the 170/180's range...

Re: heartbeat
What do you mean by drop? A baby's heart rate usually peaks around week 10 then goes down a bit. It will then stay in a normal range. The time you need to really worry about a drop is say it was 150 week 7 and week 9 it is 99, then yes, it is a concern.

Re: heartbeat
Yes, it's normal. At 8w, their heartbeats were in the 180 range. At my NT Scan, their heartbeats were in the 160s. I was told that this is normal and that after 12 weeks, the rates should stay pretty consistant.
