a little scared

Hi,I'm 15 weeks and today I went for a normal checkup and they said my baby's heartbeat was irregular. They told me not to worry that it'll more than likely correct itself. BUT I'm scared has anyone had to deal with heart arrhythmia??

So you were told not to worry when they told you that? I think it's normal to feel worried about something like that. I'm sorry. Did your doctor send you to see a perinatologist? I would ask to see one. A perinatologist specializes in babies in utero. They have high tech equipment and can take a closer look at your baby. I hope you can go because I feel you will know exactly what is happening and how to devise a plan when your baby is delivered if need be. Your baby may be perfectly fine. Wishing you the best!!

I dont knoe anything about that, but I would guess it is because the heartchambers arent closed yet?  You should ask a professional
