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!

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. =))
