Week 34: Heart Rate Checks

Baby H hiccups ALL THE TIME. Like every day... and sometimes multiple times a day. I decided to google it and of course realized that was a bad idea.

Jess texted her doc and asked if that meant anything and he said "no worries. completely normal." So I felt much better! Then, the next day he had 3 episodes of hiccups in 24 hours and it just didn't sit easy with me. I called the doc and she said no concerns on the hiccups, but the nurse asked if he had been moving as much. I said yes and she said I could come in and have his heart rate checked for about 25 minutes to see if there were any signs of distress if I wanted to. I decided not to go in that day because that was TWO doctors telling me the hiccups were fine and he was still moving as much. 

It could have been in my head, but that afternoon, night and next morning after I talked to the nurse... I didn't feel like he was moving as much. I had OJ twice (which usually gets him moving) and he wasn't really. So, I went in and hooked up to the monitor. All was good - she said it looked perfect. 

Honestly the little stinker moved more than he had the last 24 hours when I was hooked up to the machine!


The next day I had an already scheduled appointment and Dr. Markell wanted me to do it again which of course I was fine with! 25 minutes of hearing his heartbeat out loud straight - music to my ears!


All was good once gain - thank you God! We start going to the doc every week now until he is born - cannot believe it!!
