Bubs Heart Rate at 9 week ultrasound

[Rachett]

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!

That's okay Inanna, I think you're right though it was a bit of worry about nothing. It's just odd for it to drop 30 BPM one week and then be up again the following week. Bub is growing perfectly and that's the main thing.

Your baby’s heart rate changes in relationship to its activity. So if your baby is sleeping that the heart rate will be around 110. If it is kickboxing then it will be up around 160 or so.
