Heart monitor print out

Dad is quite impressed by my heartbeat. First 120pbm, then up to 160bpm, all in a minute! Ho hum, its normal for me.

Dad says,
Check it out! This is a print out from a recent fetal heart monitor.

The bold vertical red lines are spaced one minute apart. The black squiggly line depicts the rate at any given moment. You can see that in one minute, his heartrate was at 119bpm, then nearly 170bpm just seconds later! His heartbeat hovers around 140bpm, but its always accelerating and decelerating. Crazy!

The bottom graph shows contractions... well, it shows that she is not having any.
