Is A Heart Beat Of 183 Normal For A Fetus?

Hello i am 8 plus weeks pregnant and my age is 29. I have previously had a miscarriage about 6 months ago and that was in the early 1st month. This time the doctor has started giving me HUCOG 5000 injections (twice in a week) to avoid any miscarriage again. Everything is going fine. The only thing i am concerned about is the heartbeat rate of my unborn baby. It is 183.is it normal at 8 weeks. I have heard that this injection gives strength to the fetus and thus increases its heartbeat rate. Or it just another sign of having a baby girl?

Hi,

The fetal heart rate can vary during pregnancy, and it usually increases as the pregnancy progresses. At 8 weeks of gestation, a normal fetal heart rate is between 140 and 170 beats per minute, so a heart rate of 183 is slightly higher than the normal range.

However, it's important to keep in mind that fetal heart rate can be affected by a variety of factors, including maternal heart rate, fetal activity, and maternal stress levels. Additionally, the HUCOG 5000 injection you are receiving is used to support early pregnancy and does not directly affect the fetal heart rate.

There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that fetal heart rate can predict the gender of the baby, and it's just a myth. So, a high fetal heart rate is not necessarily an indication of having a baby girl. It's important to have regular prenatal care and follow-up with your doctor to monitor the development and growth of your baby. Your doctor will be able to provide more detailed information and answer any questions you may have about your pregnancy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
