A member asked:
17 weeks and heartbeat is way too slow doctor says its ominous. what to expect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Close monitoring: This is actually a very unusual situation. I suggest you consult a specialist (a perinatalogist). They will normally do detailed and careful sonograms and perhaps a detailed exam of the baby's heart (a fetal echocardiogram) when you are farther along. Good luck!
