Baby's Heartbeat

A baby's heartbeat can range usually anywhere from 120 to 160 during your pregnancy though in the very early weeks (less than 8) it is usually lower. It should fluctuate constantly.

Here is more information:

  • I'm 32 weeks 5 days pregnant with b/g twins; as of today the girl was 143 beats per minute and the boy was 130. The doctor said both were in the normal range.
