Share your baby's bpm

pachisophic · September 2012

My baby's heart was beating at 132-136 bpm at 10.5 weeks. Should I be concerned? This seems awfully low compared to the rates I've seen other people post. The ultrasound tech did say that it was beating faster than last time.

What was your baby's bpm? At what gestational age?

8 weeks- 162. The 130's are safe and common, based on other threads I've seen about heart rate!

175 BPM at 11.3 wks. As the pp said, I think 130's is okay.

I definitely think there is an acceptable range. Definitely trust your doctor.

At 6w - 123bpm

At 8w - 155 bpm

Dresch25 · September 2012

At 8 weeks 1 day 163 bmp

Ditto to what everyone else said. If your doc isn't concerned then try not to be either.

Plus, the baby's HR's are always changing anyway. Sometimes mine is in the 150's, sometimes 160's and last night it was 180. So just because it was 130 at that moment in time, it doesn't mean that it always is/will be.

8w6d: 179 and 9w4d: 183. My daughter had 180 bpm throughout my pregnancy with her too. I look at it this way, as long as the heart is beating and your doctor isn't concerned don't worry about it.

At 9 wks it measured 180 she said it was in the normal range and so high bc baby is working so hard growing.

160s lately - 11 weeks

keyourtnee · September 2012

Today 179

Murraydog · September 2012

at 10 weeks baby was 180 bpm. Baby was also moving around like crazy so that would have gotten it up there.

With DD, I remember her bpm being much lower than that. Maybe we're having a super high struck hyperactive baby this time? super duper!

Bink720 · September 2012

At 5w5d it was 107 bmp. Then at 9w1d it was 176 bpm.

firefly1231 · September 2012

180 bpm at 8w0d. Going again on Monday, can't wait to see what it is this time. Agree with everyone else, numbers are all over the place, just trust your doc.

What was your baby's bpm? At what gestational age?

6W5D - 126

8 weeks - 115

9 weeks - 177

12 Weeks - 155 (actually 11W6D).

The typical range is 120-160. Baby's heartbeats are typically the highest around weeks 8-9 and will commonly be outside of 160, but then will drop back down as time progresses.

As you can see I have no idea where the 115 came from but it freaked my husband and myself out. I know heartbeats are always changing - so maybe the little one was just napping! No idea, but thankfully all appears to be well!

162 at 11 and a half weeks.

branmuffin2112 · September 2012

Last night it was 172 bpm

I take it you got your doppler to work!!!!! Excellent

asuchic · September 2012

I believe it was at 157 yesterday, at exactly 12 weeks. I agree with other pp's though, if your doc isn't concerned and says all is well, it should be fine.
