The rate at any given time is often related to the movement of the baby. The presence of an embryonic heartbeat is an assuring sign of the health of the pregnancy. A normal heartbeat at 6-7 weeks would be 90-110 beats per minute. Then, moving forward, there is a normal range of fetal heart rate from 110 to 160 beats per minute. Gestational Age Week 7 (Fetal Age: 5 weeks) Generally, from 6 -7 weeks is the time when a heartbeat can be detected and viability can be assessed. What we do notice is that fetal heart rate is usually above 160 beats per minute from about 9 weeks until about 13 weeks gestation. And guess what?Ībout 50% were boys and 50% were girls… amazing right? There was no difference in fetal heart between boys and girls. Very early in pregnancy, it is typically around 110 BPM.
This information was then correlated to the gender found at the 18 week sonogram. A normal heart rate for a fetus can range from 110 to 160 beats per minute (BPM). A study done in 2006 recorded the heart rate during about 1000 first trimester sonograms. I hate to spoil your fun, but there is no correlation between fetal heart rate at any point in pregnancy and the gender of your baby. Bass, he gets a kick out of perpetuating this old wives’ tale.
