She said everything was perfect at 6 weeks with HB of 99. And at 8 weeks it was 153. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2194281 Sat, 30 May 2015 13:30:13 +0000 MrsYellowJacket 2194281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 weeks was this past week for us. We have twins measuring 97 and 105. They said they like to see over 90 and were pleased. Now this thread make me nervous!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2194235 Sat, 30 May 2015 11:49:42 +0000 Zbug 2194235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rockies11: thanks, lady. I'm so glad things turned out well for you! Congrats on the new squish :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2194233 Sat, 30 May 2015 11:44:11 +0000 Rockies11 2194233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Zbug: mine was my second too, and I had a subchorionic hemmorage along with the slow heartbeat at 6 weeks. It was agony waiting for weeks and weeks to see whether it was going to be a keeper, so I have a great deal of empathy for your situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2194217 Sat, 30 May 2015 11:12:12 +0000 Zbug 2194217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: thank you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2194216 Sat, 30 May 2015 11:11:56 +0000 Zbug 2194216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, ladies.<br /> I know I just need to wait and see. It's just hard when you hear one place say it's likely normal and other that there's a big chance of miscarriage. So much for the second pregnancy going by more quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2194019 Sat, 30 May 2015 00:26:19 +0000 simplyfelicity 2194019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, just wanted to offer support. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2194012 Fri, 29 May 2015 23:26:43 +0000 Rockies11 2194012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Zbug: Mine was 90 at 6 weeks, which they said was slow and gave me 50:50 odds. Everything I read said that miscarriage would happen within a week of a slow heartbeat. It wound up being a successful pregnancy and she is now 5 weeks old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2193997 Fri, 29 May 2015 22:41:19 +0000 sarac 2193997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 6 and 2 my baby had a heartbeat of 92. At 6 weeks, a heartbeat of between 90-100 gives you a 50% chance of miscarriage. My baby is now 32 weeks and 3 days and is doing well. I got lucky. 90 is slightly worse than 92, so your risk may even be higher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2193921 Fri, 29 May 2015 21:09:04 +0000 MamaBehr 2193921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 6 weeks 4 days, it was 128. I'm only nine weeks, so I can't say we are out of the woods yet but I did pick up a heart beat on my home Doppler today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2193918 Fri, 29 May 2015 21:03:20 +0000 BSB 2193918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my 6w4d u/s, we saw both heartbeats and it was 113 &amp; 119. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2193917 Fri, 29 May 2015 21:03:02 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2193917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 6 and 4, hr was 94, resulted in MC. I've heard lots of positive stories though. My OB said 50:50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2193914 Fri, 29 May 2015 20:57:53 +0000 Zbug 2193914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hoots: @travellingbee: @skipper2010: @runnerd: @raintreebee: thanks, all. I'm trying not to worry, but this has been a roller coaster already. I'm pretty sure on my O date, but it's possible that I'm 6w0d. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2193913 Fri, 29 May 2015 20:57:09 +0000 Truth Bombs 2193913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a ultrasound at 6w4d. The heart beat was 120, my doc said it was a little slow but that the heart had probably only been beating for a couple days so she wasn't concerned. I'm 13 weeks now and everything is going well so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2193910 Fri, 29 May 2015 20:50:41 +0000 raintreebee 2193910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an US today at 6 weeks exactly. The RE said to either not expect a heartbeat this soon or that the heartbeat would be slow at 90-100. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2193909 Fri, 29 May 2015 20:50:21 +0000 runnerd 2193909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Zbug: many people don't see a heartbeat at all before measuring 6wk, so 90 sounds totally reasonable! I went back and looked at my notes. I had an ultrasound when I thought I was 6w5d (7.5wk by LMP, but I knew that was wrong), but measured 6w1d and it was 114. It's soooo hard not to worry, but 90 at 5w6d is so different that 90 at 6w-something </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2193908 Fri, 29 May 2015 20:48:08 +0000 skipper2010 2193908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first pregnancy I had an US at 6 weeks exactly and the heart rate was 98. I went for a follow up the following week and it was up to 130! You're right in that it could go either way, but it's also possible your dates are off. Do you know your exact O date? If you're only 5 weeks 6 days then the heart probably just started beating. I will keep my fingers crossed for the best outcome for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2193892 Fri, 29 May 2015 20:33:12 +0000 travellingbee 2193892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was 99 at 6 weeks and they said that was perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2193887 Fri, 29 May 2015 20:30:07 +0000 Hoots 2193887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 5w4d, we didn't see any heartbeat at all. At 6w5d, we saw an average heartbeat of 125. As another reference, my best friend had an ultrasound at 6w3d, measured 5w0d and saw no heartbeat. They went back at 8w4d and baby is measuring 8w0d with a heartbeat in the high 150s. </p> <p>I'm no expert at all, but could the ultrasound just caught the heartbeat really early?</p> <p>ETA: <a href="http://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/fetal-heartbeat/" rel="nofollow">http://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/fetal-heartbeat/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-heart-rate-at-6-weeks#post-2193870 Fri, 29 May 2015 20:01:46 +0000 Zbug 2193870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>(Update to earlier post)<br /> The nurse finally called and said while things look okay for now, they are a little concerned about the heart rate being low at 90. According to lmp I'm 6w5d, I'm pretty sure I'm 6w1d, and I measured at 5w6d at this morning's ultrasound. From what I've read, 90 bpm at 6 weeks can either be considered normal or be an indication that miscarriage is likely (thanks, google). I'm having a followup u/s next week. </p> <p>If you had an early ultrasound, what was the heart rate at 6 weeks? </p>
