Heart Rate

aryastark5 · November 2014

I'm currently 8w5d and the doctor said my baby's heart rate was at 150. Isn't that a little low? What have all your heart rates been and how far along are you?

TheNewMrsY · November 2014

Nope! Mine was 148 at 7+4. I think like 120-180 or something is normal. I'm sure someone has better info on numbers than I do!

Sounds nice and healthy to me!

aryastark5 · November 2014

Thanks guys! Love the positivity!

Ours was 154 and the dr said that is perfect!

Belle0720 · November 2014

I'm curious, am I the only person whose doctor did not give an actual heart rate number to? My doctor just said that baby's heart rate was strong and beating away. I didn't even think to ask for a number.

At 5 weeks mine was 163 and at 8 weeks it was 180 .. Going again at the end of the week and I'll be 11 weeks. They say low is a boy and high is a girl, hope it's right!

Mine didn't give me a number, either. I didn't get to hear it, just see it on u/s. She's running the doppler next visit, so I'll finally get to hear it then.

I had to ask my doctor for a number because I was curious, it was 175 at 7w5d. With my DS, it was always on the very low end of normal and I always worried, but he is a wild and crazy 2yo now!

MJMum524 · November 2014

At 9 weeks it was 185, not sure now

kreardon11 · November 2014

At 6 weeks, peanut was 127 which they said was strong for how early it was. Sounds like a great number!

carolynmarie112212 · November 2014

At 9w 4d heartbeat was 181

msnelten · November 2014

Went in on Wednesday at 9w6d. Heart rate was 183. My first pregnancy 1st appt heart rate was 164, & dr said with it that high, he'd say girl, we ended up with a boy! So I'm thinking girl this time around. My son was never higher than 164.

kerrymarie44 · November 2014

Both babies were 180 at 9 weeks!

daniellewhitehouse · November 2014

I have heard both ways... My friends son was 150... My other friend had a high and the nurse told her boy and she had a boy so who really knows... Just an old wives tail

ldg1979 · November 2014

Mine was 140bpm at 6w ultrasound
And 163 bpm yesterday at 8wk

Was happy to see it had gotten stronger

jessicaoneel · November 2014

Our sonographer said HR over 90 bpm is good. Ours was 130+ at 5w.

aryastark5 · November 2014

Thanks for sharing, guys! Wishing you all healthy pregnancies!!

askingforluck · November 2014

128 at 7w4d. Doctor said that was completely normal. I have an appointment on Tuesday and am hoping to hear the heart beat again!

dmlynn0219 · November 2014

My doc gave no heart rate. He only said "there's the beating!"

JJ1982 · November 2014

I go tomorrow to hear our baby's heart for the first time. Scared a little being 1st time mom! I'll be 11w3d tomorrow .

aspengroen · November 2014

My daughters was around 140 my sons was 160. Dr always told me it was normal

ybreyn · November 2014

At 6w the little bean was at 126bpm and they said that was strong. Back in 4 more weeks, so we'll see what is up then and report back!

TeacherMama7 · November 2014

@aryastark5‌ At my first ultrasound (8wks) my doctor let me listen to the heartbeat too but didn't tell me the rate and I forgot to ask. I emailed them later on and they said they didn't take the rate. I think that sometimes the first ultrasound is just to help us moms feel good so seeing and hearing our baby is all we really care about and they know it. I have my second ultrasound today for the NUchal Translucency exam so I will ask if she can tell me my heartbeat again today.

MisDawnD · November 2014

Congrats on a strong HB. Mine was 115 at 6w / 146 at 7w1d / 164 at 10w.

kspangler17 · November 2014

167 at 10 weeks, said it was normal

alexajadeellis · November 2014

168 at 11 weeks

tahitiandreamin · November 2014

167 at 11 weeks. I asked hear the heartbeat. I'm not sure the ultrasound tech would have done that otherwise but I really wanted to hear it.

AbMore7211 · November 2014

I went at 8 weeks and 4 days and baby's heartbeat was 174

I am going tomorrow for my second appointment and get to hear the heartbeat again

I am 11 weeks and 1 day today!

whitpadgett · November 2014

Normal range is 120-160, but it's very common to be lower in early pregnancies (6weekish) and higher throughout the first trimester (up to 190)-- this is because the sympathetic nervous system develops first. Some dopplers don't count for us, and if your provider isn't wearing a watch, they wouldn't have a rate.
