Don’t worry. My kids hearts started beating on different days. One I head at 5w2d and the other wasn’t even there at 5w5d. The heart literally could have just started. Please don’t worry!

That is awesome!!! Congrats and I'm jealous that you only have 4 weeks ... I still have 10. Sigh.

Before I realized that this was an old thread, I was going to write that this whole process is such an up and down journey that you really aren't out until you're out. Glad everything worked out!

OP here. Thank you both so much. I really appreciate you chiming in and helping ease my anxieties. I’ve had 3 miscarriages, so unfortunately, I’m on edge all the time! I’m really going to take your advice to heart and just breathe.

Over 100 is fantastic. Some can't even find a heartbeat quite this early.. I don't think a 102 at 6 weeks 2 days would be considered slow. Take deep breaths and try to enjoy this milestone.

I wouldn't call that a slow fetal heartbeat. Also, a day or two at this age makes a huge difference. The heart literally started beating days ago. I would not worry. Are you going back in a week for another ultrasound? That will give you much More info, but as you’ll learn with kids there’s always worries.

MENTS throughout.

Hi, everyone. I had my first u/s yesterday at 6w2d. Everything measured right on track but with a heart rate of 104 bpm. To keep me from freaking out, my RE warned that while this is on the low-end of normal, it’s still normal. But of course, I’m still freaking out, especially because I have a history of recurrent loss. I’ve seen a lot of conflicting information online (some sites say anything above 100 is normal; others shoot for 120+). My next u/s is slated for one week. If anyone has positive stories regarding a slow fetal HB in the beginning, I’d really appreciate hearing them. I’m feeling really down today. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this.
