so i had an initial pregnancy blood test and it came out positive. i was told that i may be more pregnant than i think, so they had me take a sonogram. the sonogram said that the baby was due august 31 and that i am 7 weeks pregnant. i even saw a heartbeat! 140bpm! a few days later, my obgyn/midwife had me get another blood test. she said my hCG levels started off higher than normal and don't exactly match the sonogram, but they are growing at a normal rate. what could this mean? the more i read online, the more i freak myself out about what it could be. my doc said i shouldn't worry and that she just wants to monitor my levels... any ideas? thanks in advance.

If you saw the heartbeat then everything is fine. It's natural to worry but you are perfectly fine. Congrats and god bless you and your baby!!!

You might not be as far along as you think you are. At 8 weeks exactly I had a vaginal ultrasound and saw the baby's heartbeat strong and clear. Typically it can be seen on a vaginal ultrasound after 5 weeks. Give it a few weeks and go back for another ultrasound. Good luck :)

High hCG levels can indicate certain things, which I am sure you have found through googling.
However remember whatever is, already is. There is nothing that can be done unless you are willing to abort because of certain defects. If you are not you need to accept that your baby is who he/she is and that he/she are perfect for him/her!

it could just be that baby is developing more now--but he/she will slow down to 'normal' later on.
as long as they say everything is ok--I wouldnt worry about it
your baby is raring to go, lol
congrats!
