If you had an early u/s at 6w, what was baby's heart bpm?

hoosierbaby76 · October 2010

Since my ER is not sure exactly when I conceived, I may just be over analyzing here. MY LMP was 9/4/10. According to that I should be 7 or 8 weeks. I only measured 6w 1day on the 25th. When the tech entered my LMP she put 9/8/10 and said it was something about my meds starting that day when I questioned her. So that puts me right around 6-7 weeks. We heard a heartbeat... 128 bpm! I'm just a little concerned because I think that seems low and that baby is measuring small. Am I over analyzing here or smart to be guarded?

Repeat ultrasound at "my request" on 11/8/10.

What was your baby's heart beat per minute at 6w?

At 6w 3d, my sprout was 130. Now it's 145 at 12 weeks.

staycee · October 2010

at 6w even with #2 it was only 50bpm. Doc said it had just started, and if it'd been a day earlier we probably wouldn't have seen it at all.

@ 6w2d my baby's BPM was 109.

128 is just fine.

Ours was 148 at 6 weeks, but it's been high the whole time (162 yesterday at the ER)

Valjoy11 · October 2010

At 6w2d the heartbeat was about 120. Today we were able to hear it on the doppler around 150.

At 6 week 4 days mine was 117.

jhick25 · October 2010

Baby A was 121bpm and Baby B was 110bpm.

It was around 150 at 6w5d. She didn't measure exactly, just eyeballed it.

FWIW, you probably don't need to worry about the baby measuring "small." You probably ovulated later. LMP is a really inaccurate way of measuring how far along you are, b/c it assumes everyone ovulates on day 14. It baffles me that doctors and u/s techs don't have this knowledge in their back pockets to share with patients when they measure "small."

At 6w3d, Jack had a h/r of 115bpm. One week later it was 147. He's here and perfect. GL!

KelXoXo · October 2010

At 6w5d mine was 115, and they didn't seem concerned, so it sounds like there is a pretty healthy range.

Amanda&Jared · October 2010

at 5 weeks 6 days, my sweet pea had a heart rate of 126 - ultrasound tech said anything over 120 was good... you're good :-) I, too have another ultrasound... they think there might be two! only one heart was beating, so they said to come back in a week and we'll see Smile

Mom MD (in-training) · October 2010

6w2d HR was 115. 11w5d it was 150.

kaitylin · October 2010

mine was 122 bpm

JuneBug0611 · October 2010

Mine at 6w5d was 112 bpm. The American Pregnancy Association says a health heart rate at 6-7 weeks is 90-110 bpm. You are fine. As for measuring smaller, that's probably just a sign you ovulated late. According to LMP I'd be 8w3d today, but I ovulate about a week "late."

march2008 · October 2010

at 6w3d, it was 120 bpm.

Leggadine08 · October 2010

At 6w3d my Lil Bittys HB was 101 bpm. My doctor said at that early in the game the presence of the HB is more important than the rate.

120 at 6w1d

minnemamabear · October 2010

7w5d 156bpm

ramossc · October 2010

At 6Wk 2Days mine was at 98bpm, they said that it was a good heart rate for how early I had the ultrasound.

brandioohoo · October 2010

i had one at 7 weeks 1 day, and the heartbeat was 160bpm. we also had one at 6 weeks, 5 days, but i can't remember what that heartbeat was.

SweetieD21 · October 2010

My first u/s was at 7w1d and the baby's heartbeat was 122. Since then it's been:

10w1d - 158

11w - 155

11w2d - 184 - this is so high compared to the other ones that I think I misheard the dr.

11w6d - 158

12w4d - 156

A normal fetal heart rate is between 120-160 bpm. When the heart first starts beating, around 6 weeks, it's slower, 90-110 bpm. Your baby's heart rate sounds perfect!
