6 Weeks Pregnant and Low Heartbeat

I had a internal sonogram yesterday and was told that I was 6 weeks 1 day. My LMC was Sept. 4, so I thought I was closer to 7 weeks 5 days. They told me the heartbeat was low (70) and told me that there is a 50/50 chance of me carrying the baby. Has anyone else had this happen and had a positive outcome?

What can I do next?

Read somewhere that if you are very active that the oxygen goes to your muscles and less to the baby. Try to rest as much as possible.

To this day I think my OB mis-calculated the weeks of my early pregnancy because my period was off. They said at 7 weeks there wasn't a heartbeat, and not to tell anyone yet I was pregnant becuase they thought it wouldn't progress. At 9 weeks, there was a heartbeat, but it was low. I had a perfectly healthy rest of the pregnancy, and have a fabulous 3 year old daughter. Please, don't stress - I hope for the best for you.

I have not had this experience, but will say a prayer for you.

I don't have any advice except to put it in God's hands. I will be praying for you. Put your faith in him and he will see you through whatever the outcome may be.
