I had my first ultrasound today, I'm 6 weeks and 6 days, and the heart rate was 119 Bpm. The ultrasound tech said that's low, but from everything I've read and heard that's pretty normal? Any experienced moms, or new moms have any input?
That doesn't seem low IMHO, at 6 weeks i think my babies hr was 107 and then at 7 it was 120 then now at 9 it's 170. But your provider will monitor it . I wouldn't worry.

You do realize they all have really high heart rates around that time and they slow down some. Also their is no proven facts that HR determines the sex of the baby.
Shame on your tech for causing you unnecessary stress. Mine was 115 at 6w4d. My reproductive endocrinologist said, "It'll get faster." At 8w4d it was 182. Try not to worry!
Uh oh now I'm worried reading your responses! I had an ultra sound and my bpm was 150 at 10 weeks. The tech said that was fine, but compared to everyone else's it seems slow. Does anyone know if 150 is ok at 10 weeks?
I had the same issue. Just had my first appt last week at 6w2d and 120 bpm. It threw me off a little since my previous mc had a higher bpm closer to 7 wks but my OB wasn't concerned.
At where you are, anything over 90 is good. I work in a hospital. At 7 weeks 5 days my baby's heart rate was 175 and at 8 weeks 6 days it was 185. Just remember everyone is different. And anything over 90 at how far along you are is good, below that and I would talk to your doctor.
5w6d 104bpm...tech said very normal. She said it jumps really quickly after 6wk. Shame on your tech for telling you anything that could cause stress, esp when not true.
