I Heard the Heartbeat Today But...
Posted: 05-26-06 19:45pm

Omg I actually got to listen to my baby's heartbeat today I was really happy but now im really worried and sad too :( my baby's hb was only 90 and my doc. Said that normally should be in 120-160s so he thinks I might m/c. Omg im so scared and sad now, I dont want to lose my baby. I love my baby so much already I dont know what to do :( *cry* my doc. Will do an u/s next week again and if the hb doesnt go up he says most likely I will m/c.
:( please keep me and my baby in ur prayers and pray my baby will be ok. Thanks everyone.

Just stay strong hun! The more you get worried the more the baby would get affected. Some babies do have lower hb in the beginning. Just try to relax as much as you can till the next u/s just divert your attention to something else like watch a film with your friends etc. Also don't forget to get enough rest dont overdo anything. Whatever happens you will always be in my prayers. If you need someone to vent on just email me k irztens_mummy@hotmail.Com

Just think positively! Was the doctor using a doppler? 9 weeks is awfully early to pick up the heartbeat. Maybe he was getting yours. Hang in there and try not to drive yourself crazy until your next u/s. When is it? Just try to relax and think happy thoughts. Pm me if you want to talk. I'm hoping everything works out for you!

I could not have said it any better then how kirtzensmummy said it! You are in my thoughts and prayers also!
That is true, the dr can be wrong, I thought you were further along than what you are.
Thoughts to the both of you!

Everytime I have gone to the doctor since i'm 10 weeks my doctor finds it with no problem, well when I was in the hospital for dehydration it was a different doctor. She couldn't find the heartbeat at first and then thought she found it. She was certain, but it was indeed my heartbeat -- just like iheart said. I knew it was mine b/c I felt mine pounding in my head. It could have very well been yours. Have your doctor check your pulse next time and compare. That's what I had to convince the doctor to do and then she apologized and found the real heartbeat. 9 weeks is sometimes too early to hear it.

9 weeks is unusually early to pick up a consistent heartbeat. I'm amazed he'd even mention a miscarriage to you! A slow fetal heartbeat 90 does not necessarily indicate a pending miscarriage - especially if you've had no other risk factors for miscarriage.

At 9 weeks your fetus is not even an inch long, weighs approximately 0.07 ounce. So you can see where it would be difficult to get a good reading with a doppler. Some doctors don't even listen for the heartbeat until 12 weeks, so there is no let down and/or confusion about the health of the fetus.

Good luck at your ultrasound next week.

My .Dr was able to pick up my angels heatbeat at 10 weeks. Now a days a heart rate can be detected at 6 weeks.

I'm keeping you and your angel in my prayers. I know you've been down a hard road to coceive this little one!!! Just remember, .God never does anything in spite of you!!! Everything is for a reason!!!

Keep calm and rest.
