@breannafife1,
I think that’s close or within the normal range. Around 6 weeks is when the heart gets going so it can take time. Mine today was 108 and we’ll recheck in two weeks but I’m not worried. Try not to stress (easier said than done!)

@breannafife1,
I don’t think 99 is too low. Maybe on the low normal side. I wouldn’t worry too much

Following this because I’m in the same boat. I won’t know anything until Monday afternoon when they do another ultrasound. But doctor told me my baby was below 80. And it is likely that I’ll lose him. So I’m preparing for the worst.

I am. My baby measured ahead by 4 days which put me at 7wks0days at ultrasound but heartbeat was only 100. My doctor wasn’t concerned but I am of course. Hoping for the best.

Are you closer to 6 or 7 weeks? I think for just starting 6 weeks, that might be okay. but if you're closer to 7 weeks then I might be concerned 😟
