I think that, while those numbers are the low end of normal, they are still within range. :)

 

As your baby gets bigger, and older, the average hr will continue to fall a bit.  Think about how fast a tiny heart beats (hummingbird, mouse), compared to a larger heart (human, etc). 

 

Sometimes a baby's hr can be quite low when they are sleeping, and then jump to quite high when they are moving around.

 

If you were to take your baby's hr over the course of the day, you might see a very different picture.  As far as symptoms...totally normal.  Movement in those stages comes and goes, and just be thankful your symptoms have eased.  The third tri brings many more...

 

Did you doctor express concern?  If not...then do try not to worry. :)

My son hung out around 120 the whole pregnancy. He was a super mellow baby, both before birth and his first year.
