Low Fetal heart rate

OK so I had my first ultrasound oct 4th found out I was having twins.  They said they were about a week apart 5 1/2 weeks and 6 1/2 weeks.  I just went to the dr yesterday 10/29 and they said they were worried about baby b, the heart rate was only 79bpm and that it should be at least 81 to be healthy.  Baby a was 136 bmp.  The dr scheduled me for a second ultrasound but not till friday, its now only tuesday and I feel like such a failure.  I am 26 and this is my first pregnancy.  We were so excited about having twins and I just dont know what to do. Im so upset.  Anyone have or had the same situtation and any outcomes???  Everything else I read seems only to not be good !

The reading is terrible!!! I had a 6 wk u/s and my baby was at 89bpm. They gave me a 50/50 chance. From what I still know, I'm still preggo at 11 weeks tomorrow. I hope that little one speeds up!!

I had a 8 week ultrasound and the reading was 82-186...the doc was concerned about it and all I could do was wait. at 13 weeks they were able to hear the heartbeat and it was perfectly normal between 135-140. They say that sometimes the machine can pick up your heartbeat and then the baby's and not get an accurate reading. So try not to worry too much. I will keep you in my prayers!
