Heartbeat Becomes Stronger

Heartbeat Becomes Stronger
In the seventeenth week of your pregnancy, your baby's heartbeat undergoes significant changes, becoming more robust and resilient.
The Significance of a Stronger Heartbeat
A stronger heartbeat is a positive indicator of your baby's growing cardiovascular health.
  • Increased Strength: By this week, your baby's heart has gained strength, allowing it to pump blood more effectively.
  • Steady Rhythm: The heart's rhythm becomes more regular and steady, ensuring a continuous supply of oxygen and nutrients to support your baby's growth.
Strengthening of the Heartbeat
During this week, your baby's heartbeat reaches new milestones.
  • Heart Rate: The heart rate remains relatively constant and is now approximately 140-150 beats per minute.
  • Audible Beats: In some cases, during prenatal check-ups, you may be able to hear your baby's strong and reassuring heartbeat via stethoscope.
Week 17 marks a significant advancement in your pregnancy journey as your baby's heartbeat becomes noticeably stronger.
This development is a testament to your baby's growing cardiovascular health and overall well-being.

Does the baby heartbeat change as you get further along? I’m 7 weeks and I went for my first ultrasound at 6w6d and the heartbeat was 131. Just wanna know if that would be headed towards the boy direction or is it possible to get stronger? I really wanna girl 🥹

I’m wondering this too! I had my first today at 6 weeks 2 days heartbeat was 128. I’m wondering if it counts since it’s so early and their hearts just started beating? I have a feeling I’m having a girl but everyone else in my life is guessing boy

So I have a question.. if your baby is breech and you’re trying to find the heartbeat is it unusual for the heartbeat to be stronger near your bikini line?? Because that’s where his feet is right?! Because when the Doppler ontop of my stomach I can hear it but not as strong as when I go lower. Also, would you be able to feel your baby do a 360 if he did go from breech to a regular position???
