Slow Fetal Heartbeat & Embryo Size at 8 Weeks: What Could This Mean?


Question
Last week @ 7wks, I had an u/s done resulting in no fetal pole.  I was told to come back in 7-10 days for another u/s, which was yesterday.  Now @ 8 wks 1dy, I saw my babys heartbeat.  The doctor said it was slow and that the embryo was the size of a 6 wk embryo, Do you think that I should be worried or that everthing is ok?

Answer
It is really hard for me to say.  Maybe your due date is not correct.  (when you thought you got pregnant) If that is the case then all is well.
You should ask your Dr. lots of questions.  That is what they are there for.
Good luck to you, sorry I could not offer you more.
