fetal heart rate

Had an ultrasound today. I'm 6 weeks 1 day. They said the fetal heart rate was 91 and that was a concern? I'm hearing conflicting things about this has anyone else experienced this?

A baseline for a babies heartbeat is 110 to 160 and they like to see it above 120. Usually at 6 weeks, or early pregnancy,  baby has one of their highest heart rates

You're still very early on and the heart may only just be starting up. Ideally they like it to be over 100. Are they going to do a repeat scan soon?
