low heart rate

I went to the Dr at 6wks 5days of my pregnancy..The Dr said the baby's heart rate was 85 which was an increase from the week before when it was 80.  The DR also said I should prepare myself for a miscarriage.  Any info?

heartrate when they first start beating are usually lower then the 120-160 range. At 6 weeks my daughters was 95 and then at 10 weeks it was 173.

I haven't had a miscarriage, but wonder why he said that, especially since the hear rate went up...I don't remember how high my son's was that early...I'm gonna have to watch your post and see what people say on this one..I'm curious. But good luck, and I hope you keep that baby safely in your tummy for 9 whole months, and nothing bad happens
