A member asked:

I went for my 1st ultrasound. i'm 6w1d heartbeat was too low to hear but dr said it was between 110-115 is this a good heart rate for 6w or low? p3g0

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very early: A baby's heart rate barely becomes visible around 6 weeks. At 6 weeks and 1 day, the "flicker" may or may not be seen. I would suggest repeating the sonogram in 2 weeks to get a better image and confirm the heartbeat. In the meantime, don't dwell on the heart rate. Concentrate on keeping yourself healthy for your baby.
