Fetal heart rates

Can anyone give me a link or tell me where i can find a site which shows average fetal heart rates for specific gestation times? I have googled as much as i can and I cant seem to find what I'm looking for. Just a simple graph / chart will do.

Reason I ask is because I just hired a doppler (paranoid, I know!) and even though I can hear the little heart beating away I am just curious to know what the average rate would be for each week. I guess each baby is different so they would all be different. I am 15 weeks today and just got a reading of 147 bpm. I am pretty sure this is normal?

Thanks.

From what Ive always read anything over 120bpm and under 180 or somthing is well within a normal range 147 is actually great and pretty much the reading I get each time I go to my prenatal visits between 145 anfd 160 is what I usally get.

sounds normal .. Yes all babies are different it all depends on if tey are slepping, what you have just eaten.. many many factors! but 147 is totally normal!
