Wanting to ease mind about pregnancy doubt...

Hi Im's,
I wrote in a couple days ago in regards to my pregnancy..
Today I am 10 weeks and had my scan.. The ultrasound tech was super rough and I'm still sore and having cramps nearly 12 hours afterwards.. GP has said to be on bed rest and take things easily...
Any how last weeks scan bubs heart was beating at 167 bpm
Today it's beating at 153 bpm.. Is it normal for it to dip??? I didn't get a clear image at all of bub regardless of my full bladder so I don't feel anymore at ease then I did two days ago :(

Rough ultrasond is not good.. I would call the place and complain thats simply not on.
To answer your question yes it is normal for bubs heart beat to fluctuate bub been have been resting this time and in ultrasound active.. 153 is still well with in normal range :-)

I had many ultrasounds throughout my entire pregnancy due to bleeding. My daughters heart rate would continuously fluctuate between 130bpm to 165bmp. Take it easy and rest up x

Yes normal for heart beat to fluctuate. I would definitely be informing them they were too rough with you that is not ok!!!!

I had a rough ultrasound with my pregnancy also, i felt really tender and bruised for a few days. Babies heart rates change especially when they are sleeping, it goes a lot slower. Then when theu are awake kicking around doing backflips its a lot higher :)

My ob said the older the bub the lower the heart rate is. So drops over time. My bubs had a different heart rate every time it was tested. Your sonographer sounds like an asshole, so find another one. They are also meant to tell you to empty your bladder half way through the ultrasound so they can get a clear view. I don't think you have anything to be concerned about provided you're not bleeding and even then bleeding is very common. But would get it checked out if you start to bleed otherwise just relax everything will be fine. I cramped badly (no blood) for the first 13weeks and there was no problem.
