just wondering

[mis_mom_to_be]

Im 5 weeks pregnant and I got a heartbeat reading at 95 but my doctor says its kind of concerning since it should be at 160 but he also said its really early so in 3 weeks I go back to see if its gotten any better. If anyone has heard or has experienced this and wants to share some thoughts id appreciate it I just want everything to be ok

I'm not sure what your doctor is thinking...  A baby's heart has JUST started beating at 5 weeks (sometimes later) and they start slow and gradually speed up.  My baby's heart rate was 103 at 6 weeks and my doctor said that was fine.  It went on to increase to 150 at 7.5 weeks and then 180 at 8.5 weeks.  Since then, his heart rate has remained around 150-160 (I'm 23 weeks).  Enjoy your pregnancy and don't stress...hearing the heart beat is often a very good sign. =)
