What has your babys HR been running? 

Mine has been 165+ anytime I have checked it except last night it was 148-152.  I dont know if the baby was sleeping, or what.  It was just odd.  Good signal too.

His heartbeat lately is anywhere from 135-150.?

My LO was originally in the 170s, then in the 150s and is now in the 130s-140s- as the baby gets older, the HR slows.

I count myself, and it's almost always 150 bpm (just take a 10 second reading and multiply by 6).

I don't have one at home but I've been getting it done about once a week at the doctors (had appts for other issues) and it's always in the 150s-160s.

Are you using an actual doppler? Or one of the 20 dollar ones? I got the 20 dollar one and haven't been able to hear the heart beat yet and the instructions say to wait til early 3rd trimester. Anyways just curious since youre about as far as I am and if you can pick it up on the 20 dollar one maybe I could too unless you have an actual doppler then I just have to wait and see dr to hear it again.

No, using a real doctors office doppler.  I first heard it at 9 1/2 weeks.

Those $20 and other "cheap" ones are crap. Even when you get in your 3rd Tri you still may not hear it on one of those. Most of the ladies I know are talking about the ones that run $89-100 on Ebay. Mine is the $89 one.

OP: My baby's heart rate ranges from 150-175 on average even when the baby is "sleeping".

Sean is anywhere from 130-168 and the doc said if he's real active that's what drives it up.

This little one started at 155bpm, then has slowly dropped. She was at 149bpm around 20 weeks and now she's around 135-140bpm.

Just as an FYI, DS was 171 at 11 weeks, then 155-160 the rest of the time. 155 bpm when he was born.
