What Does This Fetal Heart Rate Of 146 During 13 Weeks Of Pregnancy Indicate?
Question: I am 13 weeks pregnant today. My babies heart rate is 146. Is that a healthy heart rate? I am also experiencing all over body pain but mostly on my left side. Is that ok?
Brief Answer:
This heart rate of your baby is normal. It is healthy heart rate
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
A fetal heart rate of 146 at 13 weeks pregnancy is normal. This is definitely a healthy heart rate.
Gender prediction theory says that baby with heart rate of 140 and above is female. There is no scientific basis for it. A large study has shown that there is no relation between fetal heart rate and gender.
If you wish to know the gender get an ultrasound done after two to three weeks.
Since when are you experiencing body pain all over? This is not normal. Since you have no other complaints it could be due to vitamin D deficiency. Please get it checked. If you are wearing heels please change to flat shoes. Due to pregnancy hormones, the ligaments are lax. Wearing heels can put strain on ligaments causing back pain and leg pain.
Take multivitamins. Eat healthy food. Include fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. Take enough rest but do go for walk daily. Some mild exercises are necessary.
Get a gentle body massage done.
Have you recently changed your mattress ? Is that causing a problem?
If Vitamin D level is normal, and above measures don't help reduce body ache please consult physician for further evaluation.
I hope this helps.
If you have further concerns, I will be happy to answer.
