Hi All, I am 26 weeks pregnant and the baby (boy) has a fetal heartbeat of 160. Should I be troubled by this or is he just a maniac?

mommy-of-3 - 129 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) This is pretty normal actually. I was told anything between around 130 to 180 is perfectly fine. I also heard that as you get closer to full term baby's rate begins to slow down a little.

jessicadarling - 130 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Thats fine, my doctor says that the healthy range is from 120-160. It can go up to 180 and still be healthy as long as it doesn't stay there.
