14 week heart rates

[jschoch8]

Hi Ladies! Does anyone remember what their baby's fetal heart rates were around 14 weeks? my baby was 155-165 and the last few days its been between 145-150.

thats probably why doctors hate when we have baby dopplers ha

Mine was 167 at 12 weeks 163 at 16 weeks and at 20 weeks it had slowed down to about 136!! The doctor explained to me that as the baby gets bigger the heartbeat will slow down. He compared it to a tiny hummingbird who has a really fast hearbeat because it is so small but larger birds have slower hearbeats. Maybe a little silly but anyway he said everything was fine and that it is normal for it to slow down.

Mine were 160's till around week 14-16 and are now in the low 140's. It is nothing to worry about. Their heartrate regulates the older they get and is normal.

at 14 weeks my baby was about 156, so it sounds pretty normal to me!

That sounds great.  Mine at 14 weeks was at about 155, and that is what it is still at.
