We heard the heartbeat!!!! but.....

She measured me at 6 weeks today (my chart on FF has me 6 weeks 5 days) anyways...the heartbeat was only at 99bpm today.

I have to go back in a week to make sure the baby is growing and the heartbeat has increased to over 120bpm.

Should I be worried?

Re: We heard the heartbeat!!!! but.....

  • 99 bpm is totally fine for 6 weeks. Your FF chart could be off, you know. It's nerve wracking to wait that week between appointments, but that's just what you have to do. If it's any consolation, we saw 101 bpm at our 6 week appointment and 140 bpm at our 7 week appointment.

    I'm still a nervous wreck waiting for my next appointment. I don't think the anxiety ever stops.

  • I wouldn't be worried. Its still early and the good thing is that you HEARD the heartbeat! Celebrate that! Congrats!
  • The heart usually starts beating in the 6th week. My dr likes to see it over 120...Do they think your dates are off or that you are measuring behind? If your dates are off and you are in fact only 6 weeks...then the heart may just have started beating and it is probably fine. I hope everything is ok. Do you go back in a week?

  • I go back next week.

    She measured me at 6 weeks today. My chart shows me 5 days ahead of that????

    I am terrified.

  • The charts arent one hundred percent reliable so try not to let that stress you too much. 5 days isn't a hugs deal. Try not to stress too much. You got a heartbeat adn thats a great thing. Hang in there. I know how scary it is!!! Sending you good thoughts.
