Hi,

Definitely, a fetal heart rate of 58/minute is very low, particularly at a 6 or 7 weeks of pregnancy. Normally, with such low fetal heart rate, baby does not survive and a miscarriage becomes imminent.

However, some times, the heart beat may just have started to pick up in the beginning, when ultrasound was done. Hence, in such cases, a repeat ultra-sound is always to be advised after some time. This seems the right decision, your doctor has taken to go for another ultrasound after 2 weeks. Further management will be done on the basis of report of this ultra-sound.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
