SUCCESS story for those with low initial fetal heart rates

Hi all!

I had an ultrasound about a week ago (measuring 6 weeks 6 days) and the heart rate was measured at 85 bpm. Of course I panicked and googled endlessly for the next week. I would find very few positive outcomes to this, so I was pessimistic at my follow-up ultrasound at 8 weeks. BUT yesterday we went in and I was measuring 8 weeks 2 days (exactly a week later) and the heart rate was up to 168 bpm!

No idea what happened or why, but I'm praying that everything continues as normal!

Sounds like a good rate to me. My daughter measured 7+5 at 8+2 and her FHR was 161bpm. Babies grow at different rates and as u've seen, can have pretty good spurts here n there. Braelyn was behind by a few days at the first scan. Naturally, I worried even tho the tech and OB said she was fine. Every scan after that, she was ahead by a week or more. Stay positive! Any gender guesses/preferences?

Congrats! =))
