I swore I wasn't going to check this board anymore but on happen stance I came back.... I am the original poster of this thread and would just like to report that I am going to be 30 weeks this Sunday with the same little bub that started out with such a low heart rate. Apparently we just went in too early and he was just starting out so to the other mothers who have baby's with low fetal heart rates do not despair yet.... there is hope that your baby will be just fine. I also asked my OB if the low heart rate in the beginning was any future indication that there would be problems and he said a big NO! Good luck mommas!!
