11w6d fetal heartbeat too slow?

I know the heart rate should be between 120-180 but I just feel like everyone else on forums and youtube videos have somewhere above 160-170. Every time I check on my baby since a week and a half ago (when I got my doppler) it will climb up to about 150. Is this slow? It sounds slow compared to other YouTube videos I've listened to. I have had a missed miscarriage and you could say I'm a little paranoid. I'm not freaking out I just need somehonest answers and possible encouragement. Thank you :)

My little boy will go from 168 at one doctors appt to 146 my next doctors appointment.  As long as it's up in the 100''s your baby should be fine.

Thank you so much everyone :) it sounds more like a chugging train not like horse feet. I have been very calm for the most part this pregnancy even despite brown spotting. I guess there are just somethings that make me worry a little more but its good too know that 150 is normal :)

That is perfectly normal. If you are concerned you can request them to di a fetal cardio ultrasound. It might give you some reassuring.

I was worried too as we have lost a baby, but my little guys' ranges from 130-140 and has the whole pregnancy. I'm 38 weeks now and he seems to be perfectly fine!

At 21 weeks and 3 days our babies heart rate was 148 I believe and she said that was a good normal strong heart beat. I think you're over thinking it and causing worry that you don't need! 150 bpm sounds just fine to me. I can't remember what our baby boy was at that time when I went back in but I'm sure your baby is fine :)

No it isn't slow. All 3 of my boys had heartbeats around the 150s. They are perfect.
