Any momma's recall their babies heart rate at 8 weeks? Ours was 128, and I can't shake that it seems low in comparison to others I have seen. Any input, good or bad, welcome Thanks!

DS's was 179. My guess is you have a really chill baby. DS is not.

@simplyfelicity: @oskarsmommy: it also changes all the time! Chill moments and energetic moments!
-
@simplyfelicity: thanks. I am telling myself it's because I don't drink caffeine, and I didn't really have breakfast that morning. That's kind of working.
-
@oskarsmommy: When do you go for another ultrasound? (Not that I think anything is wrong, but for your peace of mind.)
-
@simplyfelicity: 10 weeks (2 weeks from now). But I may ask to come in next week. I had been on the fence about doing CVS testing (I'm 39) and this is making me consider doing it.

@oskarsmommy: So, I asked my sister and my very healthy, very chill nephew had a HR of 130 at 8 weeks. I hope your doctors let you go in for your own peace of mind.

@simplyfelicity: thanks

According to this, you're normal.

I had a baby with a heart rate of 92 at 6 weeks, which gave me a 50% risk of miscarriage. And now she's biting my leg and asking to nurse, so it worked out, obviously.

DS had a heart rate around that, I honestly can't remember what week its was either 8 or 10, but I do remember him having a heart rate in the 120's during one of his ultrasounds. I never thought anything of it because the ultrasound tech never seemed concerned. I wouldn't be concerned unless the tech or doctor was.
