I had a dr appt Weds evening that was to be at 8...well I got a call asking if I could come in at 6...so I said sure...well that wasn't too my benefit since they asked me to come in at 6 and the dr didn't see me till almost 630...so what should of been another short to the point appt wasn't...
After the usual round of questioning..any contractions, leaking, bleeding, blah blah blah...and me saying no no no...no real problems...time to listen to the heart beat...well she said rate is good at 143 but continued to listen...now I had thought it sounded funny but wasn't sure if she had moved the monitor or what and almost asked if I was hearing a heart murmur...she then says did you hear it skip a beat there...she says that its common but she was sending me for a ultrasound to look at the heart to make sure there are no defects and its just that the nervous system hasn't matured yet and most times its fixed prior to birth...
Well there went the benefit of an earlier appt...now I was off to the hospital...that wouldn't be too bad if I just had to go take the test...but no they have to admit you to the maternity ward...so I had to put on a gown and the babies heart was monitored till I had to go to the ultrasound which at that point you could still hear the skipped beat...so then had to be unhooked and wheeled to ultrasound...to which the little guy was stubborn and didn't want to cooperate to get the pictures of the heart she needed...finally that was done for me to be wheeled back up and lay there for another hour and half for some dr somewhere to read the ultrasound...
Well the baby was tired of being listened too as well and decided to move around for a good 15 mins so that the monitor couldn't detect a heart beat at all u'd just hear him kick it...not to mention after the ultrasound when he was still the skip beat wasn't there anymore...we finally got the okay to go home that the dr said the heart looked fine...and I'm just to keep my normal dr appts and come in if I think I'm going into labor...
I think he just wanted attention or possibly a practice run so he knew what the hospital looked like...I'm glad that he's supposedly ok...we know what kind of faith I have in drs...but gee whiz not how I wanted to spend my evening that rugrat...
