Heheh.. my theory? He's not ready to let you go to a normal ob!! hehehhe.. Looking for reasons for you to stay!

Seriously-- I think could have been something to do with some labs or your blood pressure, and he was being overly thorough. Note that in the coming weeks, headaches ARE going to be more common. Even as the placenta takes over, there's a lot of hormones running around, and they gave me the worst headaches-- I would say the peak was around 14 or 15 weeks. But, maybe he was checking for signs of pre-eclampsia, etc. I think he just wants to keep you as a patient!!!! heheheh

Mac's HB isn't that far from average-- so do your best not to obsess!! heheheh. (I know, I know, easier said than done.. I made a rule early on with the OB's office that I wasn't to be given numbers if they didn't have to. Less for me to google...)

My Dr always asks me that too. Heck, at my last appt, he even checked my eyes and ears! He always pokes my hands and legs to check fo edema and tests my reflexes. Some Drs are more thorough than others, and that is not a bad thing!


As far as Baby Mac's hb, it sounds fine to me. The normal range is 140-180 bpm, so 179 is just the high side of normal....probably a girl, and an overacheiver already! ;)

It's good to see you back TL! I was worried!

Don't worry- Bennett's heart rate was in the 180's for a couple of weeks and I freaked- but he's fine! I bet LM's heartrate starts to go down here pretty soon.

Glad things are looking good!!!!

Hey TL! Glad you're back! Where did you go? Congrats on the good appt and graduating to the OB! I would agree with the pps who said that the heartbeat is within the normal range - all I've read says 120-180 too.

Just relax and stop worrying...he, he, he....I just had to say those words, cause I sure can't do it. But you know I think the hr sounds fine. It's right about where bc was too. Hang in there...we're all along for this crazy ride with you!

I am so HAPPY you got to see Baby Mac again.


Do not worry about the heartrate it's just at the high end of normal.
