so i just came from my doctors appointment and i was just wondering .. im 16 weeks along and she said the baby's heartrate was 160 and she sed something like o0h u have a happy baby in there 160 thats fast... she didnt say it at all like she was concerned so i didnt think about it until now when i got home but.. is that normal.. (just so u know it was 160 the last time i went 2 weeks ago too) .. im assuming its normal because she wasnt concerned but i was just reading.. adn i know the worst thing u can do is google stuff but i just keep getting all different answers like normal is between 120-160 n then the further u get it drops a little but then i just read thatnormal is 120-180 ..lol i should know better then to google things and expect one answer
My babies were between 126-182. All of them are amazingly healthy and smart.
Old wives tale would mean that it is a girl b/c of the higher heart beat...
Everything is fine!
yep baby heartbeats are never steady things they beat all over the place. If its up above 150 then they are being active. If sleeping its lower. If its very low, there is something wrong. Too high as well. They do say, its not proven, but they say the higher the beating, the more likely its a girl.
That seemed to ring true for my. All my girls on average were 160 to 170 beaters. My son on average was 120 to 140 beater.
Sounds fine to me! As long as the doc isn't concerned, why would you be?
My girls always had high numbers too....I think its probably not too normal to be on the high end but yet not abnormal either.
I heard the range is 130-170, and my babies heartrates started out in the 150s and eventually dropped. Believe me if they thought there was a problem with the heartrate they would definitely say something.
