During pregnancy, the baby’s heartbeat (dhadkan) can usually be detected as early as six weeks into the pregnancy. This is usually done through a fetal Doppler, a handheld ultrasound device that can pick up the sound of the baby’s heartbeat. Hearing the baby’s heartbeat is often an exciting and reassuring moment for expectant parents.
In the early stages of pregnancy, the baby’s heartbeat may be around 90-110 beats per minute. As the pregnancy progresses, the baby’s heart rate will increase and can reach around 120-160 beats per minute. This can vary depending on the baby’s activity level and gestational age.
It is important to note that every pregnancy is different, and the timing of when the baby’s heartbeat can be detected may vary. Factors such as the position of the baby, the mother’s weight, and the accuracy of the equipment being used can all impact when the heartbeat is first heard.
