A member asked:

Fetal heartbeat 180 at 17 weeks. is that normal? i used sonoline home doppler.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, normal: The normal fetal heart rate is anywhere in the range of 120-160. Anytime the fetus moves, the heart rate easily accelerates in the range of 180. If the heart rate persists in the 180 range, then contact your doctor.
