What was your baby's initial Fetal Heart Rate

Hi Ladies,

I had a miscarriage last year and got pregnant again this year, so as you can imagine I am super nervous.

I went in for an ultrasound last week and the baby measured 6w4d and the HR was 116. It was hard for the doctor to pick it up with the US machine but he was happy with the way things look. He said he is happy with any heart rate above 110 this early. I am reading online and a lot of places and studies say that the HR should be above 126. Can you post your dates and findings? I am super nervous and go in for another ultrasound when I am 8 weeks.

I read it can be between 90-150. I went for an ultrasound at 6 weeks 6 days and he said the heart rate was normal. He didnt give me an exact number other than normal. Another doctor said as long as they see a heart beat your fine
