In March, I had a miscarrage at 9w1d. The fetal heart rate on that baby, around just 6 weeks, had been 182. Later, around 9 weeks, just before miscarrying, it lowered to a more "normal" 155. Although my *current* pregnancy has been much better where bloodwork and ultrasound is concerned, the heart rate still bothers me. Seems like everyone else has a lower heart rate, more like 150 or so.

Is 180 too fast? I'm an extremely fit and healthy person (when not suffering from extreme morning sickness!), and my resting rate during pregnancy is around 60--when not pregnant, it's about 48-55. I'm wondering why my fetal heart rate is so high! Thanks for your input.
