8 weeks slow heartbeat?

Question

I am 7 weeks, 6 days and just saw the heartbeat today but it is very slow (roughly about 100) and embryo is only measuring about 6 weeks. I was tracking and using ovulation kits.
Doc said to prepare for miscarriage. Anyone experience this? Is miscarriage inevitable? Anyone end up with healthy pregnancies, or would the baby be impacted even a successful pregnancy?

Answer

If you know when you ovulated and the baby is that far behind it really sounds like its inevitable. The heartbeat needs to be 100 minimum at 7 weeks to be considered healthy and should be stronger for almost 8 weeks. Between the low heart best and the size I'd say prepare for it. I'm so sorry :( hang in there it sucks but it will get easier

Answer

Hi I just wanted to reach out to you and let you know that you are not alone. I went for my first ultrasound yesterday thinking I was 7 weeks and 5 days but I measured at 6 weeks and 3 days. Also Low Fetal heart rate of 95 bpm. I see my doctor on Monday to get the full results. I am absolutely devastated to say the least. There are positive stories out there though and it’s not over until it’s over. You will be in my thoughts and I will be praying for us both xxxxxxxxx

Answer

I went for an ultrasound and according to my last period I was 8 wk 1 d but the measurements showed me to be 6 wk 1 day - heartbeat was 96 which my dr said was low because it should be in the 100s and high. That was on Dec 21. I came in for a follow up ultrasound on Jan 2 and baby still measured 6 wk 1 d and there wasn’t a heartbeat anymore... they said baby passed shortly after my first ultrasound. Prayers for whatever your future holds 🙏🏼
