I'm 22 weeks pregnant and just got my anomaly scan done today. I'm a bit worried about whether everything looks normal. Is a fetal heart rate of 159 bpm okay or is it on the higher side?

Based on typical fetal development, at 22 weeks, normal parameters include a fetal heart rate between 110-160 bpm, so 159 bpm is within the normal range
