Dr von Almen,
Thanks so much for your quick response. Should I be worried that his
heartrate did this twice in such a short time, and went below "normal".
I always thought that the rate went up with movement, what would cause
it to go down? I don't see my doctor for two more weeks, and I will ask
him then too, but don't want to be so worried until then. I don't think
they will do another non stress test since this one was good, so I will
monitor movements, but can't monitor the heartrate. Does this need to
be monitored more since this happened, and have you heard of this
happening to other babies? Sorry so long. Thanks again. Sharon
