i am 8 weeks pregnant but my ultrasound showed that i was 5weeks and a few days and my yolk sack was larger than normal there is a heart beat but slow. am seeking adivce on what may happen.
I wouldn't worry right now. When I was 9 weeks pregnant, my ultrasound said 6 weeks, and the heartbeat was VERY slow. It was hard to hear too. The next month's ultrasound gave my actual date (14 weeks) and the heartbeat was fast and strong, checking in at 146 beats per minute. Im 19 weeks pregnant now and things were labled high risk at first. It was hard, and it was very scary when I heard the weak heartbeat during the first ultrasound. I wouldnt worry about it if your doctor isnt- sometimes the baby just takes a little bit longer to catch up on the development. Not to mention that the heart is so small, it's hard to hear- you may only be hearing every other beat. If you're doctor's not worried, dont worry yet!
