Last Friday when I saw the doctor, the fetal heart beat showed an arrhythmia. Basically the heart beat would speed up then slow down and skip here and there. SOOO they wanted me to see a specialist.
I have been waiting for an appointment at either Robert Packer or Danville. During the last 4 days I have done extensive thinking over this, and I actually was thinking that the doc could have had my heartbeat instead of the baby’s as mine generally runs faster than average and I have had sporadic arrhythmias due to my breathing.
So today, when they called and told me my appointment is May 4th, and the doc would have LOVED to get me in sooner but it wasn’t feasible, I asked for a second listen due to my concern about weather it was my heart or the baby’s.
He took me right in, and we listened to both mine and the baby’s mine was indeed faster than he expected. He was actually kinda shocked by that. And we heard only a trace of arrhythmia in Matt’s heartbeat. Doc even commented if he were not listening expressly for that, he might have missed it.
We are still keeping the appointment at Robert packer so we can do a fetal EKG. And be absolutely certain if we have arrhythmia or if we don’t. We have not discussed what would be necessary if we do. As there is no need to cause undue stress/anxiety to me worrying about what procedures we would need to do until we know for certain that there is a reason.
