Heart rate okay for 8w2d?

[orangehour]

Hi everyone, looking for some honest experiences! I had my first scan yesterday and was measuring on track with a heart rate of 160bpm. The sonography said it was a strong heartbeat, but I’ve been silly and looked at the forums and it seems to be on the low side for my gestation. What do you think?? I’ve had recurrent miscarriages before this so a nervous wreck!

That's not on the low side at all. I think mine was around that and I now 21 weeks. It peaks at around 170-180 around 9-10 weeks I believe, so this is absolutely fine.

Sounds fine to me - lower heart rates are often more associated with boys 💙 or baby was probably just asleep 😂

Thanks so much @Missnicolinda96! I’m a paranoid mess, so thank you for indulging me xx
