Does Heart Beat Of 108 And 117 When Carrying Twins Increase Chance Of Miscarriage?
I m pregnant with fraternal twins from IVF. My heartbeats at 6.5 weeks was 108 and 117. My nurse said they are only concerned if it s under 100, but I m concerned about miscarriage. I had gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy and now I m having high fasting glucose numbers. Is the likely hood of miscarriage or vanishing twins high for me?

The pulse becomes naturally high during pregnancy to supply blood to the baby. However your high glucose numbers are a concern since uncontrolled diabetes can lead to several infections/ miscarriage and sudden fetal death. Make sure you have a strict control on your diabetes to ensure you have an uneventful safe pregnancy.
