SO the mystery pain ceased late last week, but CAME BACK!!! Jeremy and I made another trip to Bham at the request of our dear doctor. Again he was confused by the pain but started me on an antibiotic. Hopefully this will help.
We had an ultrasound today because the initial readings on the "baby heart monitor" (I don't know it's official name) were a bit off. The doctor did a second reading and still didn't get results he wanted, so it resulted in an ultrasound. At this point, we have had an ultrasound at every visit. We are so thankful for this because we have really been able to see him grow. This was not the most pleasant one though.
First the pressure from the ultrasound wand was making the pain much worse and they discovered that Bean has an irregular heartbeat. Initially they were picking up on hiccups, which were very cute. The hiccups stopped and they noticed the heartbeat.
Not the best news, but certainly not the worst. The doctor said that sometimes it goes away and sometimes it does not. If it does not we will see a specialist. He reassured us that knowing is far better than not and that there was nothing to be worried about. I am certainly much calmer than I thought I would be. This has really reassured me in my decision to have the baby in Birmingham where there are many great doctors.
We have another appointment next week and will keep everyone updated.
