What is the normal range for a fetal heart beat?

Answer by  dubhreubel (501)

A normal fetal heart rate is between 120 and 160 beats per minute. This can vary wildly even from week to week, and will be slower while the fetus is sleeping and faster when the fetus is awake and active (Much like any other person) If the heart rate is too high/low, You should be checked for fetal distress.

The accepted rate usually ranges from 120-160 beats per minute. Most of the time boys have lower heart rates and girls have higher ones.

The heart beat should usually be between 120 and 160 beats per minute. They can be as high as 180 or 190 and still be normal. It slows down as the baby grows and gets closer to birth.

It is said that a normal fetal heartbeat is between 120 to 160 beats per minute. Theory: beats > 140 = girl and < 140 a boy.
