Ok so I had my first ultrasound at 6 weeks and they told me that the baby's heartbeat was a little slow 80 bpm. I recently had a miscarriage so this freaked me out a little but my doctor told me not to worry. Well today I had another ultrasound at 9 weeks and the heartbeat was 185 bpm. My doctor won't call until tomorrow about it but I just wanted to know what you guys know or think, Is this a normal healthy heartbeat for a 9 week fetus? Thanks and baby dust to those who want it :)

Absolutely normal. My son's at 8 weeks, 4 days was 189. My current pregnancy (another boy) was 175 at 8 weeks, 5 days.
Fetal heart rate reaches its highest around 9 weeks and after 12 weeks is generally between 120 and 160bpm.
That sounds great! At my 8 week dating scan, the heartbeat was 160, at the 12 week dopplar it was 140, and it's been 140 or over at all of my appointments since then. :) We're expecting a girl.
Yes, and you're probably having a girl. The higher the heartbeat is its a girl the lower it is a boy.
You probably don't believe that but REMEMBER when you go in to see what you're having and remember the girl who told you you was having a girl =] It is completely normal. Congrats!!
its usually slow at such an early stage.... ie 5 - 6 weeks... but they tend to not usually tell u that and just leave u to worry.... u shouldve been given more advice from the ultrasound technician or your doctor... just ask ask ask questions... otherwise its hard getting info out of them sometimes...
