What is the normal rate of a baby's heartbeat during the first trimester?

Answer by  worker4589 (122)

The fetal heart rates average between 120 and 160 beats per minute. It's not uncommon for the rate to vary, especially when they are able to move. Very early in the first trimester they can be much lower, though. If your doctor uses doppler, they should be able to hear the heartrate and tell you how it's doing.

The normal heart rate for a baby in the first trimester and throughout pregnancy is about 140 beats per minute. It seems very fast, but that is normal for a baby before they are born. You will be able to hear it if your practitioner does an ultrasound.

Normal rate is between 140 beats to 180 beats. Ususally the baby heartbeat is not heard until after first trimester.

A normal heart rate for a fetus is between 120 and 160 beats per minute. If it's off by a little don't be too worried. As your baby grows larger you will be able to hear the heart much louder.
