    Scan at 6w 1d irregular heart beat???

    Hi
    I just have a quick question about a scan at 6w1d which showed heart beat stopping and starting. Everything else seemed to be ok except for dates being a few days out but that could be from irregular cycles??
    Has anyone had this happen before and everything turn out ok or not???
    Thanks

    Could it be that your dates are a bit out and the heart beat is just actually getting going - hence the stopping and starting?
    Have you been recommended to go back for another scan in a few days?

    Hope it all works out well for you.

    Hey Mako

    I was thinking along the same lines as Sue, at that many weeks the heart is just starting up so I'm sure that could be a possible explanation.

    Hang in there

    I would be thinking that the HB would be just starting up at that gestation, it will take a while to get going more regularly and then it will increase in rate, I had a scan Tuesday and HB was 125 BMP, Thursdays camen in at 134BPM, so increasing in strength and the sonographer said that it would have started lower the week before.
    Take care xxoo

    Thanks for the replies girls. I'm really hoping this would be the case and hope the rate increases over time. I have another scan booked for Tuesday week so hoping like crazy everything is just wonderful then. Its such a scary time at the moment.

    I didn't even have a heart beat with either bubs until 7.5 weeks - I'd just say that the heart has just started beating in your case - fingers crossed it all works out fantastic

    I would think it was just early and starting. DS1 had a slow heartbeat on scan at 7 weeks 6 days. He is now 20 months old!!

    Good luck

    I was going to suggest it could be the h/b *just* starting as well... if everything else looked good I would try not to worry (I know, easier said!!). I hope your next u/s gives you a lot more reassurance!

    Needing lots of support for tomorrows scan

    Ok I just want to say thatnks to you all for your messages after I originally posted but now my next scan is tomorrow I'm starting to become very worried and nervous again
    So can I please ask you all to keep us in your thoughts that everything is all ok tomorrow.
    I have all the preg feelings ie sore bb's, feeling ill in the afternoon and that awful tooth brushing gag that always happens to me when preg lol. While some of these symptoms sound great they can also be some side affects to some medication I'm on so needles to say I'm feeling a bit fragile atm.
