No: If the heartbeat is low at 6-7 weeks but normal at 8 weeks the risk of 1st trimester fetal demise is approximately 25%. If the heartbeat at 6-7 wks is borderline low but normal at 8 weeks the risk of fetal demise is no higher than average (around 7-8%). So wait to see how the heartbeat is at 8 weeks. Hopefully it will be normal.
