MedHelp Member's Question

Is this normal at 6 weeks?

Tags: ultrasound, heartbeat, 6 weeks

Hi I had my ultrasound yesterday and I was 6 weeks exactly. 6 weeks and 1 day today. Lol The fetal heartbeat was 115bpm. Is this normal? My doctor said my HCG levels are high are good and so is everything else. I am just curious as this is my first pregnancy.

Usually you can't even find the heartbeat at 6 weeks.

Once you hear the heartbeat the chance of miscarriage decreases dramatically, so YES you are doing well!

I had a heartbeat of 98 when I was exactly 6wk!!  The Dr said it was normal but I think it was little low.  it ended in a missed m/c at 10wk.  Not trying to scare you.

HR of 115 sounds good!!!  They say anything above 100 is good.

Congrats!!!
