Fetal heartbeat at 7+5

Paid for an early scan and saw heartbeat and sonographer was happy with everything and baby measuring spot on.

However, I have googled and am now worried the hb is a little low at 119 and should be higher.

Does anyone know anything about normal ranges for hb at this stage?

I think if the sonographer was happy, you shouldn't worry. All the calculations are done on averages and there is going to be some variation. My understanding is that a fetal heartbeat goes from about 80 bpm at 6 weeks to 170 by 9-10 weeks, so it sounds like you are well within the margins at 7+5.
