20 week scan - low heart rate

I went for my 20 week scan yesterday. The tech said that the heartbeat was strong and baby must have been relaxed. She was moving some. When I got home my doctor called and said 127 is on the low side and I need a follow up scan. I have to wait 6 weeks! I'm really worried. Anyone else have a similar experience?

They say if it's above 100 and below 200 baby is fine. Do NOT stress. My youngest daughter had a 120 heart rate the entire pregnancy... she'll be 2 in July. Stay calm.

I don't get why doctors are saying this to women, I'm high risk and have been both my pregnancies, both my high risk doctor and midwife have always reassured me that they are happy with a fetal heart rate fluctuating between 110-180bpm .. :/ your the second lady I've seen about this and I don't understand it, I've had different doctors both times and been told the same thing :S X

Thank you so much! I already have a history of blood pressure issues while pregnant with my boys, the stress does not help!
