Embryonic Heartbeat
by lsa, May 12, 2004 12:00AM
Hello Everyone,
This is my first post since having a D/C for a blighted ovum last November. I am currently pregnant and about 8 weeks past my LMP. I had a vaginal ultrasound yesterday which dated the pregnancy at 6.3 weeks. The little embryo, as well as cardiac activity was visible but looked to me to be too slow. The midwife stated that it was fluttering and gave me the impression that there was no reason to be alarmed. She wants to repeat the scan in two weeks for proper dating. Although the midwife did not confirm it, nor did she tell me what the actual count was, the heartbeat looked very slow and well under 100 BPM. Should I be concerned?
