Fetal Ectopic Heartbeat????

[LittleMinx]

I was up the hospital last night getting checked due to pain in my old c-section scar, and as usual they hooked me up to the machine to check bubs and it was picked up that she had an ectopic beat ...

I was just wondering if anyone had experienced this before? Nobody seemed majorly concerned, but I am still worrying like any mum would...

Thanks

Honestly I hadn'y heard of this until I read your post. I found this thread where a doctor has chimed in and hopefully it will help. Good luck hun..

Thank you for the link..

Saw my MW today as a follow up and she wasn't happy that a plan wasn't put in place.. So she spoke to the hospital and they want to see me tomorrow and hook me up to some machines to check Brooke's heart. So although I've been told this is common i'm now pooping myself! x

Do you think they'll do an echocardiogram on her?

 

[LittleMinx]

They are gonna do another CTG and take it from there i think.. x

Well best of luck with baby Brooke hun and hopefully everything will be just fine

She 100% has an ectopic beat, but it should resolve itself at birth! No further action being taken x

My daughter had a eptopic heart beat when I was pregnant with her.

Try to get skin to skin if possible for as long as possible afterbirth this helps to regulate it!
