Going to doctor today *updated* 6/06
seems I'm experiencing some irregular heart beat (mine not the baby). I've been feeling as thumping sensation in my chest (like my heart is skipping a beat or something). I'm a little scared.
UPDATED:
I'm back. It seems I've developed a murmur and he did hear the irregularity I was speaking about. He thinks it could be caused by the pregnancy (heart needs to work harder.)
He took some blood, did an EKG and now I have to go back next week to have a mobile heart monitor hooked up to me for 20 hours (no showering ) and an echocardiogram. So for now I have no news. I guess within the next few weeks we'll know more.
UPDATED 6/6/06
My echocardiogram revealed I have an "above" average case of mitral valve prolapse (sp?). He said it's something that should be watched, but nothing to be overly concerned about since my heart looks strong and healthy (another great trait I got from my Dad lol) They still want me to wear the monitor for 20 hours to make sure there's nothing funky is going on in there...that's tomorrows project! 
Thanks for all your support.

Re: Going to doctor today
It sounds just like palpitations...I have them sometimes too! If you've had caffeine or are anxious, stressed etc they can be worse. They aren't harmful but can feel scary. I bet its what it is. Good luck today, let us know!!

Re: Going to doctor today *updated*
Hi there! Glad to hear the visit was productive. I am not PG, but I have recently had experience with palpatations, and I had to wear the monitor for 20 hours. It is not so bad, but sometimes the wires do get a little in the way. Best thing to do is to try & clear your calendar for that day. Also, the *glue* they use to stick the sensors to you is pretty difficult to get off, so also have some kind of oil or maybe cocoa butter to try & loosen it before showering.
Good luck & I hope you get some good news soon!

Re: Going to doctor today *updated*
I had one before pregnancy and feel it sometimes now while pregnant.
Take the day off when you have to wear it and not shower and relax!
