Fetal Heart Rate at 30 Weeks: Understanding a Rate of 136 BPM

A fetal heart rate of 136 bpm at 30 weeks' gestation is within the normal range. The average fetal heart rate is between 120 and 160 bpm, so your baby's heart rate is only slightly below average. There are many factors that can affect the fetal heart rate, including the baby's activity level, the mother's health, and the time of day. If you are concerned about your baby's heart rate, talk to your doctor.
