6w3d heart rate 79bpm - I am scared..

[LittleOne76]

This isn't a good sign is it? Would be grateful for your thoughts/ experiences. I am going to talk to Mw tomorrow... Am so worried.

Hiya littleone76
I can not comment as to wether this is not good, just hope everything is ok for you, will keep everything crossed for you xxxxx

They don't usually listen to the heartbeat, it's way too early. usually you can see a heart beat with the ultrasound but they don't usually count it.

Did you use a doppler yourself? if so, it is possible you picked up your own heartbeat.

thanks Lou and Belgo. No - it was done at an early pregnancy scan. I went and had another one today (about 10 days after the last one) and it's good news. It's within normal range for growth and there was a heart beat that was beating away, again within the normal limits. Was so scared they'd see a very very slow heart beat or no heart beat at all. I feel so relieved and lucky.

That's great news. When I was scanned at this stage of pregnancy, they told me they don't count the heartbeat as it is inaccurate. The fact that there is a heartbeat is very good.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

I am so pleased for you :o) you can now enjoy your pregnancy, good luck to you and all the best for the future xxxx
