As most of you know I am pregant and currently 24 weeks along. Yesterday I had what was suppose to be just a normal visit. That isnt what it turned out to be though. Maybe I am over obsessing about this but I am truly scared and worried.
I went in and had to see a different Doctor than my normal which wasnt to comfortable about in the first place. Anyways he was just checking babies heartbeat with the doppler when things didnt sound right even to me.. We have decided on the name Ely by the way..Anyways Elys heart would be beating normally and then almost skip a few beats and then resume beating again. Now I felt him moving around alot while the doctore had the doppler on. But the Doc sent me in for an ultrasound just to make sure there wasnt any fluid around the heart. We went into the u/s room and the tech look and listened and monitored Elys heart for almost 20 minuet with it not doing it ever. We seen him hiccup and move around but she even re-reviewed the four chambers and she said it was perfect.
So we walked out of there with no explanation as to what may have cause his heart to do this, but was told everything looks great. As you can imagine I am however a nervous reck now. Last night I just cried thinking what if there is something wrong with Ely and they just cant tell from an ulrasound? I think maybe they are missing something just like the last office did with Payton? We never had an autopsy done on him but there was talk about thinking Payton may have had something wrong with where his heart and lung connect... All these thoughts Keep running thru my head.
I dont think I could handle loosing another child. I am now scared to do anything that may off set babys heart, not truly sure what things that is but I do. I am in fear that I am only going to end up with emty arms again. ON top of my other two kids already scared about this baby being sick. We didnt tell the kids about this appt but still what am I to do, how am I going to go thru the next 16 weeks not worring about EVERYTHING? Sorry for the ranting but I am so scared right now!
