Babies on the Brain

Slow irregular heartbeat at first u/s... miscarrying?

My best friend has PCOS.  After 2 long years and tons of medications & procedures, she got pregnant with her 1st born. The pregnancy went well.

She and her husband have been TTC their 2nd child for over 6 months now, but they are having an easier time getting pregnant.  Unfortunately, she miscarried around 5 weeks back in September.  She found out last month that she was pregnant again.  Her betas were great... they almost tripled.

Yesterday she went in for her first ultrasound (she's almost 7 weeks) and the baby was a good size, but the heartrate was slow (about 56 bpm) and irregular.  Her doctor says that she could be losing the baby, or it could be early and hopefully things could be better next week.

I'm so scared for her.  She's devistated, and rightfully so.  Did any of you have this happen?  Can you tell me the outcome?
