5 days isn't too bad. At that size, the tech being off by mm's makes the diff of a day or more. A lot of things could alter results at this stage in the game. My DD was 4 days behind at our 8wk dating scan, and almost a week ahead by 12wks. She stayed on par or ahead, from then on. It happens, I wouldn't worry too much unless the Dr tells u there's a cause for concern. The HR isn't bad either. It only just started beating days before...literally, days! It'll speed up. Give it time and don't Google...it is not ur friend!
Congrats! =))

Thank you so much! Yes, google is definitely not my friend lol! We aren't seeing the OB until 8 weeks so just hope the baby has grown and the HR has sped up! And congrats to you too <3

Thank u! =))
One thing u may find as a blessing (or a curse), depending on how u think/worry, is a doppler. Of course it won't work right now, but u could start trying after ur OB appt. It may help calm any fears/worries u have, until ur able to calm them with baby's movements. With my last baby, I had a massive and very unexpected (zero signs/symptoms) bleed at 10wks. I immediately thought I lost him, then and there. Luckily, I have a doppler, so I was able to check on him so I could calm myself enough to clean up and drive to the ER. It really helped me. I used it daily after that, so I could stop worrying (the bleeding cont'd) til I could feel him bootin' around. Best $50 I ever spent!
Just a suggestion. It doesn't offer the same calming feeling to every woman...some women find it creates more fear. =))
