9w heart rate ?

BeeBee08

Yesterday I had a 9w3d u/s and everything looked good and the heart rate was 158.  I thought that was great as my RE didn't say anything otherwise.  But then of course, I started googling and now I'm worried that it's low.  At 7w3d it was 160 and it is expected to spike in week 9 with the average being 175bpm.  Shouldn't the heart rate have increased from the 7w3d u/s?  Has anyone else had this? 

Edited to add:  I hate you PAIF/PGaL brain!! Hate.

My last u/s I was almost 11 weeks, and the HB was 167, which was the same as 8w. My OB said it was great! I think you are fine!

Mine was 170 at 8w5d and 163 at 9w5d. I'm sure it is fine!

I remember lo heart rate was in the 170's at 7 weeks then at 9 weeks it was in the very low 160's and I panicked.  OB said it was perfect!  I'm sure your little one is fine!  

p.s.  PAIF & PgAL brain S*ck

I don't think there's a specific heart rate it has to be.  There's a range that is considered good and you're well within that range.

This. His heartrate was in the mid 170s earlier in the pregnancy and around 10 weeks or so it dropped to the mid to high 150s and has stayed that way for the entire rest of the pregnancy.

I'm sorry you're worried, PAIF brain SUCKS so much!

I am a recent grad of 2IF, so I have a son.  I went back and looked at my pregnancy journal from when I was pregnant with him, and his rate was always in the 150 range, throughout the pregnancy.  And he is 7 years old now and was a very healthy pregnancy/baby.  I think it sounds like a great heart rate!
