A member asked:
At 28 weeks pregnant why is fetal heart rate 88 bpm why could this be...?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your heart rate: How was this heart rate taken? 88 is too low to be a normal fetal heart rate, the range is roughly 120's -150's. If the reading was with a doppler or stethoscope, it is likely that they picked up your heart rate and not your baby's. Give your OB a call for clarification.
