A member asked:
Will contractions at 12weeks slow fetal heartbeat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: At 12 weeks, the fhr usually settles into the normal range of 120-160, but tends to be on the higher end of the range. Contractions of the uterus, whether spontaneous, or, for example, associated with orgasm, are not harmful to the fetus.

Waiting for m/c as no fetal heart beat (6/8 w). Hcg levels on 01/27 @ 15, 000. On 01/29 @ 14, 000. Doc concerned drop is too slow. What could this mean?
I did an abortion but didn't bleed. The u/s showed 5weeks and 6days fetus and no heartbeat. Heartbeat would still be possible at 7 weeks and 4days?
Fetus was measuring accurate at 5w3d and 8w4d u/s. But this time I should be 11w3d but u/s showed only 10w1d with a strong heartbeat. Why?
At 8 weeks , had light bleeding so got an u/s and the fetus was sized at 5.55mm with a heartbeat. The bleeding hasn't stopped for 2 days, pending m/c?
