Low Fetal Heart Rate at 8.7 weeks pregnant

by Cathy3333, Jul 10, 2009 02:08PM

I just had an ultrasound (i am 9 wks pregnant tomorrow) and the baby's heart rate was 80bpm. Is this OK? How accurate are heart rate readings at this stage of pregnancy?

I had a miscarriage last time I was pregnant so I am very concerned.

We have a maternal/child community here, I would suggest a visit there, they will be more knowledgabe than I regarding this. I wish I could be of more help, but, I have never been blessed with children, so I really can't answer.
