TThe normal fetal heart rate is between 110 to 180 beats per minutes (BPM), but can vary. Fluctuations of the fetal heart rate (usually associated with fetal movement) during different periods of the day are common and often rise above 160, going as high as 180 to 190 and are considered normal.

If you have questions or concerns about your baby’s fetal heart rate always direct them to your healthcare professional.

Hell my heart beat is still that fast. It could totally happen. Its just bad for a person though since it limits the duration of physical activities a person could endure.

That’s about normal but I think they want to keep it above 120. If you are truly concerned you should ask your obstetrician. 137 is pretty good. You really shouldn’t worry too much and you should be getting a thorough exam via ultrasound around 20 weeks and they can look closely at the heart to make sure there aren’t any problems with their development.

It is also a myth that you can determine the sex of your baby based on their heart rate. If it were true, I’d be having a boy… and it’s a girl. Here is one of many studies done to prove this: http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/161/12/1525
