So I went to the doc today and Found out that I am only 6 weeks and 1 day and also that the heart rate was only 82. My doc said it could be normal because i am so early or there could be something wrong. Anyone have this happen???
I found this helpful in the beginning!
Fetal heart starts beating at around 5th week in a 40 week pregnancy. Initially, in the 5th week, the fetal heart rate is almost the same as the mother's heart rate (80-85 beats per minute or bpm). Then it increases at an amazing rate, at about 3 beats per minute per day during the first month! Then again after 9th week, it settles down to about 150 bpm (average) at around 12th week.
