Can fetal heartbeat be too high?

Question

I had an ultrasound today and heard the heartbeat for the first time. It was 138 BPM. I am 6 weeks 4 days. Is this too high? Based on what I read, this is much higher than average for this far along. Are there issues associated with this high of a heart rate at this stage? Just for reference, my heart rate tends to be higher than average, about 90 resting. Blood pressure tends to be on the low end, around 95/70.

Answer

Anything between 120-180 is normal and healthy!

Answer

Anywhere between 130-180 is normal for that gestation. I had one at 141 and another at 164 around the same time frame

Answer

What about 11 weeks? My baby stays around 170 which seems high…

Answer

Actually this is in the mid-low range, but still considered normal! My baby girl ranges from 150-160 typically. Fetal heart rates above 120 are normal. The old wives tales would say it’s a boy for you! 💙

Answer

My daughter was always around 160 from 6-15 weeks now it’s around 140 at 26 weeks.

Answer

That's wonderful.

Answer

That's a good heartbeat. It will rise and fall during your pregnancy, it will probably lower eventually as well as baby develops.
At 7 weeks mine was 160, at 16 weeks it was  152 and at 19 weeks it was 148.
