I'm 25 wks and when I went to the doctor today he used the dopplar to listen to my sons heartbeat and the doctor said his heartbeat sounded abnormal. So, he scheduled me for a fetal echocardiogram. I'm worried, obviously. Has anyone else had to do this?

I had the same thing, I ended up in emergency for cramping and the doctor realized my babys' heartrate was below 100, I was heartbroken! They also told me babies w/ such problems don't make it past 12 weeks. But here I am still pregnant and the heart rate is now at 166.
Although I worry about my baby night and day....my baby is completely healthy....
I realized I was really stressed out during that point of my pregnancy due to my babys' father leaving the picture. After accepting the fact that he is gone, I learned to concentrate on my baby and my baby only!
Best thing I could tell you, DON'T STRESS! You're baby will be fine......
I hope this helped a little.....you can message me if you'd like!

My nephew had a heart condition that caused his heart to race. My sister's OB noticed it first when she was pregnant. He had to be on medication until he was about 3 and he grew out of the condition. The good thing was since her doctor found the problem they were able to be prepared. He required some extra care at birth, but they were able to treat him. Your child may not have any problem at all, but at least this way you are taking care of it now. Try to relax and just know that you are doing everything you can to take care of your child. My nephew is a healthy happy 10 year old now. Good luck, I hope the test all come back that there is no problem.

I wish I had the opportunity to do that. My son was born with severe heart problems and after 3 heart surgeries, one to put in an artificial valve, He has struggled all his life and is now retired on permanent disability (he's 42). Had the modern method of dealing with this problem been available then, chances are something could have been repaired before he was born. It is always better to know what is going on than to guess. Good luck, I'll remember you in my prayers.

Have the subsequent ultrasound and notice what happens. this is attainable the wellness practitioner who mentioned there replaced right into a fetal heartbeat mistook it for yours. next time in the event that they say there's a fetal coronary heart, verify your pulse and notice if this is the comparable (they should have finished that besides) good success i desire all is unquestionably!

Don't worry right now hun, it may be nothing. It may also just be something simple like a heart murmur. My husband has a murmur and it has caused no health issues for him at all and never had to have it repaired or anything. I think my hubby is healthier then I am and I don't have anything wrong lol. Best of luck, hope its nothing,, Congrats!

i would have to say, whatever you do, do not get stressed out about it. that will cause more problems on you. so just be calm and wait until the next appointment and see what the doctor says then. maybe the baby was moving and it sounded weird to him, but i wouldnt do any worrying right now just sit back and wait try not to think about it as hard as that might be but don't get stressed ok.
