Question : My daughter is due in 11 days .She tested positive for strep B. Last week her baby had a heart rate od 154. She was at -2station. yesterday she was at -1 station but the babies heartrate was 130. Is this normal or cause for concern. She didn't see the dr. yesterday she saw a medical assistant.
Brief Answer:
Baby heart rate is within normal range.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us about it.
Congratulations on her pregnancy!
I can understand your concern.
Baby heart rates can alter from the fetal position, maternal position, in the last trimester and during labor.
If fetal heart rate is in between 100-180, it is considered to be normal.
As her baby heart rate is 130 it is considered to be normal.
And then do not take any stress and as she is due in a few days, she should visit to a gynecologist and get herself examined.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.
Regards

She did have her scheduled appt yesterday but didn't see her Friends or PArt just a medical assistant. Who didn't seem to know even how many weeks she was and was supposed to have an exam. Her doctor won't see her exam from yesterday until next Monday. That's why I am concerned about the ,24 point headrests drop. Is it safe to wait a week for her Dr to know?
Brief Answer:
She can wait for a week.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Nice to hear from you once again.
She can wait for a week if everything is fine like fetal movement and she is not having any pain and discharge.( not going in labor) because her fetal heart rate is normal now.
But as she is due in 11 days it is better( if possible) she should consult her treating doctor and get herself examine to see whether everything is normal or not.
But for now as fetal heart rate is normal, please do not take any stress and wait for her doctor visit.
