Bubs Heart Rate at 9 week ultrasound

[~clover~]

Mine was 164 at 8 weeks. Is her doctor concerned? Hope all is well

It could have been a wrong reading. Hope everything is ok

I wouldn't be worried & it's unlikely to be a mistake. If the heart rate was regular, strong it's all okay. A fetal heartbeat at that gestation (as all) will fluctuate and change. Depending on movement, what the mother has or hasn't eaten etc etc.

Thanks for your replies ladies. She will have another scan next week so only time will tell I guess. Bubs is measuring well so that has got to be a good sign.
This has been a very long awaited pregnancy and I want so badly for everything to work out well for them.

At my 6 & 12 week scans with this bub it was around 125bpm. Completely normal and nothing to worry about.
ETA: then at my 20 week scan heartrate was 167bpm.

Your babys heartrate is normal. Try not to worry.

Just a quick update to this thread.

My friend had another scan yesterday (10w 1d) and bubbys heart rate was back up in the 170's & everything in looking perfect. YAY!

So I'm thinking lasts weeks HR was taken wrong.

I don't agree Rachel that it was "taken wrong"... It's normal whichever end. Heart rates do not remain static. Both are very normal!
