Any mom to be went for first scan on ur 6th week? Are you being informed of the fetal pole rate? I did a scan through tummy. Though can see the blinking heartbeat, I was not told the rate. Is it normal?

I did a scan at 6 weeks plus and also saw the blinking heartbeat but wasn’t told about the heart rate (ie: beat per minute). I asked the gynae on the bpm, But the gynae brush me off saying “it’s fast” without telling me exact bpm. So I got pissed and see another gynae and he shows me the bpm and I even hear heartbeat sound! So next visit, request ur gynae to know the bpm and also hear the heartbeat

Thanks! I will make sure to ask for it in my next visit. :)

Do you mean the pulse rate?

I read somewhere that the rate of fetus' heartbeat can be taken and is normally 90-110. However, when I went to scan at week 6, I saw fetal pole but the rate was not indicated.

Yes
