Normal heart rate 7 weeks?

Just that really?

I had a private early scan just for reassurance really and the lady said she could clearly see one baby and it's heart beat, even I could make out it's little heart beat.
She then went on to say " it's beating at about 124 beats a minute, some people might say that's a little slow but it's absolutely normal so I wouldn't worry" which of course immediately made me think, well I wasn't worried but I am now!

I let it go but she printed some pictures while I went for a quick wee and when she gave me the print out she said oh the heart trace didn't come out. She did offer that I could come back in an hour or so with a full bladder and she would do it again but I said no it was ok but now I wish I had. I can't help think is she hiding something? And now there is no trace or evidence of what the heart rate was.

I don't know if I'm just just over thinking everything in my heightened state of anxiety or if I should be worried.

Does anyone know what a normal heartbeat is for 7 weeks pregnant? Or does anyone remember what theirs was?

Thank you everyone in advance.

A quick google suggests 120 - 160 bpm is normal but this will increase by 10 weeks.

One site said 90-110 would be normal for a 6 week scan. Going for my scan tomorrow so this is interesting - I'm not sure I paid much attention last time although I do remember DS heart rate being 130ish throughout labour.

Anything from 90 is normal. The heart is just starting and learning to beat so don't worry as it can be all over the place at the beginning.
I had an early scan at the EPU when pregnant with my now toddler and his heart rate was 121 pm at 7+4

Thank you everyone, slightly reassured now.
It probably wouldn't have crossed my mind to worry if she hadn't said don't worry Hmm
