Slow Fetal Heartbeat

Hi all! This is my first post on here. I’m 6 weeks pregnant and went for an early scan yesterday as I was having a fair bit of brown discharge. The scan showed the foetus mesures 6 weeks (4.5mm) but that the heartbeat was measured at only 93 bpm which is slow. I was told it’s either a sign that I will miscarry or that it’s still very early on. The radiologist did not seem very optimistic that everything would turn out ok. I have to go back in a week for a rescan. I’m so scared and worried. This is my first child and my husband and I were so excited. I’ve obviously turned to Google (I know, I know) and there isn’t much out there that is recent so I’m turning to you and hoping that you will share your experiences if you have any in this area.

I had a scan last week and was told 3.2mm at 6weeks ( by their dates) but 6+5 by mine and a heartbeat was present but not the speed. I questioned the scanner whether all was as it should be at this stage( as baby measuring smaller than my dates) and sonographer said at this stage it’s so hard to know how Any pregnancy will go and as we have absolutely no control over it we should not worry and have positive thoughts that all will be as it is meant to me- easier said than done I know but I hope you find come comfort it knowing that you have no control over this situation, I wish you the absolute best x

Your sonographer is so right @Wudgy. What will be will be and it's so early right now that it is impossible to say how things will go. I've been so worried but trying to stay positive without getting my hopes up. I hope everything turns out fine for us both! x

Just updating for anyone who comes across this thread with the same issue. Went in for my rescan today (1 week after my first one) and was told the baby is growing fine and that the HB is up to 119bpm, they measured me at 6.4 weeks which corresponds with my dates.
