7 week heart rate

[RNMommyof2]

What was your babys heart rate at 7 weeks? Mine was 117 and although the doctor says this is normal, it seems low and of course I’m freaking out. Ugh the first trimester is no fun! Please help

No I don’t I don’t think that’s a low heart rate

 

[RNMommyof2]

I hope not. I just read all these forums where everyone’s is 130-180 and it makes me nervous

We don't get our babies heart rate checked at all during first trimester where I live so I've no idea I'm afraid. Google suggests that heart rate increases between 110 at 6 weeks and 150 at 8 weeks so by next week it may be much faster! In addition, early dating information isn't that accurate so you could be nearer 6 weeks than 8...

I wasnt told the heart rate at my 7+1 scan but at my 9+1 scan it was 171BPM
Good luck I'm sure if they were worrid they wud of said and i think that HR so early is completely normol hon so try not to worry.
I no easier said than done. The first tri is such a scary time. Good luck

With my angel baby at 6w3d, HR was around 100. The baby died shortly after.

I'll update tomorrow on this baby at 7w2d.

117 sounds ok to me, I’ve heard 120 is a really safe number and you’re just under that. My DS1 was 166bpm at 7+3, this baby was 130bpm at 6+4. Seeing the heartbeat is great news! It will speed up as baby grows

I've never checked with previous babys but this baby at 9 weeks it was 180bpm! I think in early days theres a bigger range which is normal

7wks2dys it was 160.
