Question
Hi moms I’m about 5 weeks pregnant and I went to the hospital recently. They were able to see my baby’s heartbeat, but it was 77 bpm. They basically told me that the heartbeat is low for this stage and that it could possibly be a sign of a miscarriage. They told me to come back for another ultrasound to check again.
I’m honestly really worried and scared. Has anyone else been around 5 weeks and had a heartbeat around 77 bpm? What was your baby’s heartbeat at 5 weeks, and did everything turn out okay? Is 77 normal for this early? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences.

i saw my baby’s heartbeat at 6w3days and it was 112bpm but they were saying how it would probably be under 100 since I was early(this was last week). i’m hopeful for you everything will be okay
That’s where the bpm supposed to be at 100-120
Do you think I’m just too early? That’s what they saying they didn’t want to think the worst yet

Baby dropping?
Idk if it matters but I feel like my baby has dropped a bit? My pelvis aches more and my bladder seems sensitive/like I have to go more often. So excited now! Also has anyone had a discussion with their midwife or doctor about a membrane sweep? I was curious to ask my midwife some questions about it.

Post c section healing..
I’m not sure if it’s because I went into spontaneous labour before my planned c section or what but has anyone else suffered pain wise post c section? It’s only day 4 but honestly struggling with the pinching/ jolt stabbing pain on the left side of my incision when I move around and sit down. I know it’s only day 4 but people make out c sections are ‘easy’. Also have such horrendous tailbone pain (which could be from where I was having back contractions). I just want to feel back to normal and feel this is slightly taking away the newborn experience plus my toddler has reduced play from me as I can barely function 😩

Going to an event out of town at 35 weeks
I have a friends wedding which is about a 3hr drive away. Is this cutting it too close to due date to be travelling away from hospital? I could try drive there and back in a day. Not sure what the protocol is so any advice would be great.
