109 bpm at 6 weeks? What is the problem?

[ Original Post ]
This is my second pregnancy and had my first u/s. The tech told me I was 6 weeks pregnant, but the midwife called me with results of the babys heart beat at 109bpm and should be 120. What does this mean?? Ive got the sore boobs, exhaustion, and crampyness. If I remember correctly she stated "it could be nothing, or it could be an unhealthy pregnancy." What does that mean?? I go in for my second u/s Friday. But reading other forums and others having miscarriages - only scares me. Also, I had read the babys heartbeat should grow 10bpm every 3 days. Can someone confirm this please?? Looking forward to a responce!

don't worry about it. I would recommend you stop reading alot of these forums. Once you've seen the heartbeat, you have a 90% chance of having a successful pregnancy. It takes a little while for the heartrate to pick up speed. Just think, it just started beating a few days ago. You're lucky you've seen the heartbeat. Enjoy it!!!

I had an US at 7weeks and the heart rate was low...I was told that since at this time they are so tiny, it may be difficult for anything to pick up the accurate heart rate...needless to say at my 10 week US the heart rate was much more normal...as they grow the accuracy is better...I am sure you are just fine. Good luck!

Im 12 weeks. At 6 weeks the heartrate was only 115. Its normal to be lower that early on.

I read online the heartbeat should be 90%-110% a minute at six weeks. The doctor told me almost at six weeks. The heartbeat should be in the higher 100%. I was two days away to be six weeks. The heart beat is only 83% a minute. I am going to see my normal doctor this weeks. Please help me

I am 6 weeks pregnant and had an ultra sound after experiencing some spotting...my babies babies heart rate was 108 bpms and the doctor said it was perfectly healthy!! I dont think you have anything to worry about.
