I recently had an anomaly scan and my babys heart rate was 183. The technician and my gynecologist both said its normal, but Im still feeling a bit worried. Is this heart rate really okay at this stage?

Hii, at 22 weeks and 6 days, a fetal heart rate of 183 beats per minute is within the normal range. Fetal heart rates can vary throughout the pregnancy, but typically range from 120 to 160 beats per minute. Since both the technician and your gynecologist have confirmed that the anomaly scan is normal, there is likely no cause for concern. Just continue with your regular prenatal care and follow-up appointments.
