Help-low rising hcg but baby looks fine- has anyone else had helathy baby?

I am 8 weeks preg.  Today went to dr. did U/S and baby measured correct for 8 weeks and heart beat was 157. Everything looked great.  My hcg level is slowly rising, but rising.  Went from 9,853 three days ago to 12,860 today.  Is this unheard of?  Can you have a slow rising hcg level and a healthy baby?  Is something bad going to happen?Please help

Thanks for the encouragement.  The lab technician who gave me the results kept saying it didn't look good.  But the u/s showed baby exact size for gestational age and great heartbeat.  She just got me really scared.  I found out that I have a small subchorionic hematoma (a little blood clot next to the placenta)  I was thinking that had to do with the hcg levels. Who knows.  Thanks again.

My twin had such slow rising levels she didnt even know she was pregnant til 3 months. After finding out her levels went up and down for awhile, she went on to have a healthy boy. With her second child same thing except she knew quicker that she was pregnant and they had said it was threatened miscarriage because her levels had gotten so low but she went on to have another very healthy baby boy, both boys however were slow starts and small other then that healthy. So best wishes to you..
