i'm 6w 3d today & i was sent for an early scan as i had some bleeding.

i lay down on the bed & my husband held my hand as i couldn't look, i was shaking. the sonographer was lovely, i told her my past in about 5 mins (mc, breast cancer) and she said she would take alook and need 2 mins but would tell me what she saw asap.

then she said straight away look i can see a hb beating away..... i looked & both my husband & i burst into tears.....

just got to keep fingers crossed that all good for nxt 6 weeks....

question ! for those that have seen a hb, was it clear & did it look fast, its just i didn't think it seemed as fast as my last baby's did. am i just being paranoid........
 
Aw thats really good

I think the speed of the heart beat must have been perfect otherwise the MW would have said something....
 
That's wonderful, sweetheart. :hugs:

As Steph182 said, if there was anything to be worried about, the MW would have said something. No two heartbeats are the same -- between 80 and 150 is normal, I do believe, and if it's on the lower side, that isn't necessarily a bad thing because you've gotten checked quite early.

Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy! :hugs:
 
I was 6w exactly when I saw the hb. It was sooo tiny, it just looked like static. The u/s tech had a hard time measuring, because baby was so little, but the bpm was 117, so that was great.

It def was not clear to me, I have no idea what I'm looking at on those things, and if she had not pointed it out, I would not have known!
 
Aww such good news hun, i echo what the others say, im sure the mw would have said if there was any need for concern, try and relax hun! all the best xxx :hug:
 
At 6 weeks the hb can be on the low side, nothing to worry about!
 
Not sure bout speeds etc, but a heart beat to me sounds good :) Congrats Hun!!!

I cant wait for my scan now! :)
 
When I seen my babies hb at 6 weeks 4 days it didnt look fast to me either but the doctor told me it was around 160 bpm which is great and it looked clear only when she zoomed in. I hope that helps. Congrats!!!
 
Aww thats amazing hun, as everyone has already said, im sure if there was anything slightly to worry about, you would have been informed.

Im currently waiting for my booking in appointment on 24th September, then I can get a scan booked - am a little eager as it is my first :)

Congratulations xx
