High heart rate 11 weeks?

[kikicoates78]

So I had another scan today, and this machine had sound! So we finally heard the heart beat and got a rate of 174. The Doc. said it was on the high side for beeing that early, Anybody have any input? Just wondering!

I don;t think that sounds high either....at 8 weeks mine was 168bpm.

mine was in the 170's from week 8 til like week 14 and then is started settling to the 150's.  your babys rate seems to match many of ours, don;t worry.

I figured all was well, He didn't really have me worried! I just wondered what all the girls thought! :) Thank you all.

The baby was probably movin around alot which could raise the heartrate. Mine was 141 at 7 weeks not sure if thats normal or not.... But im sure your fine.

My Daughter had a average heartrate of 170-175 through out most of my pregnancy and she is a very happy heatly 2 year old.

Mines was 173 at 10 weeks. I know that in the very beginning they beat a little slower (100 at about 6 weeks) and then speed up to be higher than the average 120-160 and then slow down a little again.

My babies heart rate was 189 at 9 weeks.  My doctor did not seem concerned at all.  This was during an u/s and he just said the baby was being very active at the time.

My babies heartrate was 175 at 8 1/2 weeks (we heard it during our transvag u/s) and it has slowed down since.

my baby's heartrate was 170 and doc told me it was high but not to worry about it the baby was fine

Mine was like 160 - 165 then. It's on the 'high end', but my Dr. never made me think for a second I should be concerned?! I think you and baby are ok! =)

My little one's heart rate was in the 180s at 10 weeks.... so I don't know why they thought that was high?  Sounds good to me...
