The problem was that Sangeeta ji wasn’t letting me communicate with her daughter directly however much I convinced. She couldn’t afford to let it go, this time. Varsha, the daughter of Sangeeta ji was 6 weeks pregnant finally through her 3rd IVF cycle but with no heartbeat scare, Varsha was at the edge. She had been through a long struggle with infertility over the past years.
The lady introduced herself as Sangeeta Narang (name changed) mother of Varsha Bhatia(name changed) whose Beta HCG levels were on rise with every passing week but ultrasound was unable to trace the heartbeat. When you receive a call around 9am on Sundays, it is natural to get annoyed.īut unknown number, somewhat jittery caller and non-official timings of the call were enough for me to sense that the situation was tense. She came across Fertility Dost her gut feeling urged her to give a call to us immediately. She wanted to know what to do, a ray of hope. She had conceived after much struggle and ‘no heart beat’ of the baby was completely tearing her up. In general, the persistent slow fetal heart rate is commonly caused by a complete heart block, and considered life-threatening, since it is followed by hydrops and heart failure.6 weeks 6 days, no cardiac activity. This condition can cause a much unreliable and slower heart rate. When, however, none of the electrical impulses from the atria reach the ventricles, the complete heart block happens. As result, an irregular or slow heartbeat is observed. The condition is also referred to as dropped or skipped beats. Sometimes the electrical impulses from the upper chambers (atria) can be intermittently blocked from reaching the lower chambers, which leads to partial heart block. When the timing of conduction, which is the transmission of electrical impulses, between the upper and lower chambers of the heart is prolonged it leads to atrioventricular block. When it’s mild, it generally requires no special treatment. This, in turn, results in slow signals to the baby’s heart muscles. Most of the time the damaged or not functioning sinus node is the main reason for sinus bradycardia. It can also, however, can occur when you are at an ultrasound appointment when the sonographer applies pressure to your uterus. Sinus bradycardia can be a temporary condition. Sinus bradycardia (110 beats per minute or less) is a slower than normal prenatal heartbeat with a regular rhythm. The condition ranges from mild to serious, as follows:
Kids have higher heart rates up until around the time when puberty sets it.īradyarrhythmia has several types. In contrast, fetal, and subsequently, children’s heart rates at rest are normally much higher, and that is completely fine. But for the most part, 60-80 bpm is the norm. Some people, like athletes and those who take part in particular stress relief techniques, may have a very low heart rate, and that would be normal for them. Anything above 100 bpm at rest is considered quite worrisome. For adults and older youth, a normal heart rate is considered to range between 60 and 80 bpm.
It is worth noting that at any time during the pregnancy, the normal fetal heart rate still is about twice as fast as the average adult’s resting heart rate. A further slowing of the normal fetal heart rate is also observed in the last 10 weeks of pregnancy. After this time, the rate would start decreasing and reach levels normal for a growing fetus at mid-pregnancy which is about 120–180 bpm. When you are at the beginning of the ninth week of pregnancy, an average rate of 175 beats per minute (bpm) is considered a normal fetal heart rate.
