Foetal Heart Rate

Hello.
I was wondering if anyone can put my mind at rest. I've just had a scan at 8 weeks 3 days (Had to go private) The baby was with a size of 8 weeks and 5 days and everything in right place. The heart rate was 119 which the sonographer said was normal but I was under the impression it should be much higher? Can anyone advise? I had a miscarriage last year so I am really fretting about this one.
Thanks
Laura

As far as I understand it the heart rate at 8 weeks is lower than at 12 weeks, i think after 12 weeks is when it gets to 140-160ish. Try not to worry, sonographers are experts she would have said if it was too low. Congratulations Flowers
