Fetal Heart Rate at 10 Weeks & Yolk Sac Disappearance: Expert Answer

Question
HI,
Is it normal for a 10 weeks fetus' heart rate to be 134 on ultrasound?? Or is this too low? Also, when does the YOLK SAC dissapear via ultrasound?

Answer
Hello Daniella from the U.S.,

Your answer is YES.  The yolk sac should be disappearing within this or next week if it is still there.

Good Luck,
