After a week of nerves and not finding any positive stories of a low Fetal heart rate and a successful pregnancy. I have drove myself nuts with being online and reading negative stuff regarding this.
At 6+6 the Fetus was growing but the heart rate was low at 85 so they said to keep eye out for miscarriage signs and go straight to EPU if I get any. They scheledued another scan for me a week later which was today.
Today at 7+6 Fetus had doubled in size and it was moving around loads and the heart rate had gone up to 155. I was shocked how much it’s starting to look like a baby compared to last weeks scan.
So please for anyone that felt the same I as did please keep positive and I hope this helps 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I just had my 7 week check up yesterday and heart rate was really low (60 bpm). I’m extremely nervous but this at least gives me some home.
Do you guys mind me asking how your pregnancies are progressing? I just had a scan at 6w6d and HR was 100. I should be measuring around 7w4d. Feeling very anxious that something is wrong as I had a miscarriage at 17 weeks on NYD this year and nothing seems to be going right 😢
