slow fetal heart rate

bailyannbailyann member
in November 2015 Moms
I went for an ultrasound today at just under 6 wks ( early I know but I'm 3 months past a 12 wk miscarriage so my dr is watching me very closely this time) and everything looked good. I measured right on track with 5w6d. The tech was able to see a heartbeat :) but... It was measuring at 88 bpm which seems slow. Has any one else seen a heartbeat this early and if so, what was it?

    Same boat! I was 5w 5 d and I was only 70! I'm hoping it's because it just started beating!! I'm going for a follow up this week! Most people don't even see a heartbeat this early. Praying we both have healthy babies!! I'll follow up when I get my second us!

    It's a great heartbeat for 5w6d! It'll get a little faster every day for a while.

    I had a scan at 5 weeks 6 days and the heart beat was 88 also. We were really worried. I had another scan in 8 days and they baby grew by 10 days with a strong heart beat of 147! Good luck to you!

    That is awesome to hear!! This all sounds promising. At this point I'm just staying as positive as possible until we check again next week. Thanks for sharing!

    Just left my followup and our sweet nuggets heart rate is up to 124bpm. Dr told me to stop worrying and try to enjoy the ride :)

    Mine measured 6w0d last week and there was a heartbeat but they couldn't hear it or count it. I'm going back on Friday for another u/s. I'd say if you could count the heartbeat before 6 weeks, you're probably doing pretty good.

    I had my follow up and in a week it went from 69 to 106. I go back again on Thursday. I'm very hopeful. My dr said that he was please with the increase but wants to do one more to make sure it continues to go up. First on was 5 w 5 d and second was 6 w and 6d. They want it to be 110-160 so I'm just in the boarder line! With my daughter they couldn't even read it at 6 weeks. She is almost 2 and very healthy!
