Hu, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Bradycardia in early pregnancy is suggestive of impending abortion, congenital heart disease, or can be present in chromosomal anomalies like Down syndrome in the fetus. There is little chance of increasing the heart rate of the fetus if any of the above condition is present.
I would suggest you to consult a fetal medicine specialist so that a detailed anomaly ultrasound can be done at 18-20 weeks and further management should be done accordingly, if the fetal bradycardia persists.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
