No this is not a normal heartbeat under 120 is abnormal, in fact this early is should be even higher than that. There is still hope though if the ultrasound wasn't on the right spot or the baby moved while the Dr. was measuring the heart rate it can be in accurate causing the heart rate to seem much lower than it actually is. It happens all the time, I am 17 weeks and if my baby moves it throws the whole reading off and we have to start again, it takes a couple times to get an accurate reading for me. I hope that you have a happy and healthy pregnancy.

It's normal. All pregnancies are different and you might be fine in one and drained in the next.

Usually the heartbeat would be a bit higher by now, but the sign of one is wonderful!! Does your doctor intend to do another ultrasound in the coming weeks?
