2nd Trimester

Fetal Heart Rate at 13 weeks

DH and I finally got our baby's heart rate on the doppler last night (13w3d). I was so excited. It was picking up in the mid 150's. Does anyone know if that is considered low/high/normal. I tried to google but kept getting weird things coming up.

Re: Fetal Heart Rate at 13 weeks

  • When I went at the same amount of weeks, the baby's heartrate was between 174 and 182. I think there is a huge range of normal.

  • Mine has always been between 150 and 160 starting at my 11 week OB appointment.  They said that was a normal range.
  • I'm not really sure what's "normal" for 13 weeks but at my u/s at 15 weeks 5 days it was 155 and i was told that it was perfect.. so you seem to be on track?

  • At our 14 week appt, our LO's heart rate was at 142 and the NP said it was perfectly normal. Can't wait to hear it again in 2 weeks.

  • 120-180(190) is "normal"
  • My baby's HR is usually between 145-155. I think anything between 120-180 is normal.
  • Got mine taken today (13w exactly) and my peanut came in at 161bpm.. you're def normal
