Heart rate of 54 beats per minute ? Posted: 09-15-08 09:09am
Hello,
I went for my first ultrasound a few days
ago, and I was 6 weeks, 1 day.
She told me the heart rate was 54 beats
per minutes and it was normal. So
naturally, I wasn't worried, but I have
been reading other posts and noticed that
most people are reporting over 100
beats...
Now I am worried, should I be???
Thank you in advance.

The embryonic heart rate generally should
not fall below 100 bpm. Whoever told you
54 is normal is very wrong.
Please try not to worry yourself too much,
but you may want to ask your doctor when
you follow up with them, unless the doctor
is the one who told you 54bpm is normal.
In that case you need to find a new
doctor.
