Question 1

my babies heart rate was 170 beats/min in 8 weeks 6 days, 166 in 13 weeks 1 day, 137 in 25 weeks. by this can i able to know the gender of the baby?

Accepted Answer

No: Heart rate isn't indicative of baby's gender, careful ultrasound exam or even more invasive procedures like CVS would tell, I can appreciate social implications, better wait though or resort to ultrasound, wish you a healthy pregnancy and a healthy infant of any gender

Question 2

my babies heart rate was 170 beats/min in 12 weeks 4 days, 147 in 19 weeks 1 day, 131 in 27 weeks. by this can i able to know the gender of the baby? if can please tell me the gender

Accepted Answer

Sex determination: by heart rates is not  reliable.  By this stage, your OB should be able to accurately determine the gender of your baby with an ultrasound.  Congratulations!

Question 3

my babies heart rate was in the 170s i'm 11 weeks and 3 days is this anything to worry about ?

Accepted Answer

Normal fetal heart.: Starting at week 5 the fetal heart will accelerate at a rate of 3.3 beats per day for the next month. The fetal heart begins to beat at approximately the same rate as the mothers, which is 80 to 85 bpm. Below illustrates the approximate fetal heart rate for weeks 5 to 9, assuming a starting rate of 80 Week 5 starts at 80 and ends at 103 BPM Week 6 starts at 103 and ends at 126 BPM Week 7 starts at 126 and ends at 149 BPM Week 8 starts at 149 and ends at 172 BPM At week 9 the fetal heartbeat tends to beat within a range of 155 to 195 bpm. The fetal heart rate will begin to decrease and generally will fall within the range of 120 to 160 BPM by week 12

Question 6

Question 7

if babies have a high heart rate why do they not have heart failure if their heart is working so hard?

: Heart rate per circulation time is the same in all animals. Smaller animals have higher heart rates than larger ones. The number of heart beats for one circulation of blood is not higher in babies.
For a technical publication, visit this site: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8184772/

Question 9

Ultrasound: Did they ask for you to have a repeat ultrasound in a week or two? The ultrasound that you describe above really was very early and would be best to have repeated.
