6w4d ultrasound

We had our first ultrasound today.  Very exciting even though I thought I was 7w but they dated me back to 6w4d.  They did the abdominal us and the HBP was at 111, then the nurse did a vaginal us and the HBP was at 96.  Did any of you ladies have a similar experience?  I am reading far too much on the internet according to some it is normal according to others it is low.  Any input will be appreciated! 

Re: 6w4d ultrasound

  • Were you charting your cycles? It's possible you were a few days off with your date based on ovulating later. Or some just measure early in the beginning. 6w4d is pretty darn close to 7w, a slight mismeasurement could even account for it. the heartbeat has to start somewhere, so if your doctor wasn't concerned, I wouldn't be either.

     

     good luck!

  • At 8 weeks with my girls the heart rate was around 145. If your dr is not concerned them don't make nothing into something and cause yourself unnessary stress.
  • I had a vaginal US at what I calculated to be 7w, but they ended up dating me at 6w5d. The HB was 119 for me and they told me that was normal. Yours sounds normal too! It's still early... I think you are fine... Especially if your doc didn't say there was any cause for concern.

    Congrats!!

    I was charting and thought I was 7w0d at my first ultrasound. Baby measured 5w5d with hr of 104. Since then it's been growing like it should with a rising hr! I'm sure your little one is just fine!
