Event - Baby's Heartbeat
Baby's Heartbeat
During the first ultrasound scan, usually detected around the 6th to 9th week of pregnancy, you may experience a remarkable moment: your baby's heartbeat.
This scan not only confirms pregnancy but also checks the vital signs of fetal development.

Top Asked Questions
When can I first hear my baby's heartbeat?
The baby's heartbeat can typically be detected with a transvaginal ultrasound as early as 5 to 6 weeks into the pregnancy and with a Doppler ultrasound around 10 to 12 weeks.
What does the baby's heartbeat sound like?
Many describe the baby's heartbeat as similar to the sound of galloping horses. It's usually much faster than an adult's heartbeat, ranging from 110 to 160 beats per minute.
Is it possible not to hear the heartbeat at my first check-up?
Yes, depending on how early in your pregnancy the check-up is, it might be too soon to detect a heartbeat. This doesn't always indicate a problem; it may just require a follow-up ultrasound for confirmation.
What does the heartbeat tell my healthcare provider?
The baby's heartbeat is a crucial indicator of the health of the pregnancy. A strong, clear heartbeat is a good sign of a developing pregnancy, while any irregularities can prompt further investigation.
Can hearing the heartbeat predict the baby's sex?
No, contrary to some myths, the speed or rhythm of the baby's heartbeat cannot predict the baby's sex. The only reliable ways to determine sex are genetic tests or ultrasound imaging later in pregnancy.

12 weeks 2 days baby heartbeat is 163 . #ultrasound #12weeks So is the heartbeat thing for gender accurate? My son 7 years ago his heartbeat was around 140 and this baby is 163? Am I having a girl or boy?

My middle was in the 170s he was a boy. My last was in the 130s and she was a girl. So ima go with no. Not all the time.

Went to see the baby’s heartbeat on Friday!! It was 170 bpm can you tell by heartbeat what the gender might be??😭I’m sorry just so excited #heartbeat #9weeks

I don’t think so. But you are close to being able to do a blood test to find out! Doctor can do it. Or some other tests

You can do a blood test at any time in point ! Your insurance will cover one once you hit 10 weeks through your doctors office just ask the dr or you can take sneak peek as well as early as I believe 7/8 weeks!
