High heartbeat?
| Tue, 07-10-2007 - 11:56am |
I always have to have something to worry about! Yesterday was our first u/s and there was a heartbeat and measured 8w4d, which is about right (hard to say considering I conceived after my chemical pg in April and did not have a cycle before conceiving).
The heartbeat was 174. Does that seem high to anyone? Neither the u/s tech nor the doctor seemed concerned at all.


Expecting miracle #2! A little boy!
Nope, sounds great to me.
Oh yes us PAL’s worry about everything!! Matthew’s heart beat at 7 weeks was around 180! It started to slowly go down to around 150, but then of course when his heart rate started dropping I got worried also!!
I looked back at my pg journal, and this baby's hb was 174 at 8 weeks, 167 at 10 weeks, 162 at 12 weeks, and has been in the 130-140's since then. We are 33 weeks now. I think it's completely normal for the hb to start out low-ish (in the 120's at week 6), shoot way up, and then level off after a while. It's OK!!!
