A member asked:
Is a fast and slow heart rate possible in a healthy baby?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: In a fetus, the heart will speed up with activity or stimulation and then slow back down just like your pulse does. These are normal changes and on a monitor strip are good indicators of fetal well being depending on the pattern and how high and low the rate actually is.

Heart rate: Slow and fast heart rates can be seen a healthy baby. Whether the heartrate is abnormally fast or slow it is best to ask your doctor
