Does A Fetal Heart Rate Of '109' Indicate Risk Of Miscarriage And Birth Defects?
I just went in for an ultrasound they said that I was 6 weeks 6 days pregnant. The heart rate of the baby was 109. I have been reading online that a reading this low indicates a much higher risk of miscarriage and birth defects. What are your thoughts

Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Bradycardia at this stage is associated with a higher risk of abortions and defects in the fetus.
I would ask you to be cautious and have scans every week until a normal range is achieved,
Take care.
