Okay...so I hesitate even mentioning what is going on, but I am a basket of nerves this morning!
I have an appointment with a cardiologist this afternoon. I have been having heart troubles and mentioned it to my OBGYN about a month ago. I had an EKG and wore a holter monitor for 24 hours and now my appointment looms before me! The holter monitor was so not fun. I thought sleeping was difficult already, but try sleeping with 7 electrodes stuck to your chest with 7 wires coming out of the 7 electrodes and all hooking into a box that you wear like a belt. Then try to sleep while not unhooking any of the before mentioned electrodes and wires! I am so glad that it was only 1 night!
I am a stresser...so today...I'm a stressin people!! I have no idea what is wrong or what kind of tests they will want to do. I don't know how long I will have to wait, or if this is the first of many appointments. Deep down I don't feel like anything is seriously wrong, but the pain and symptoms I have been having are scarey. Probably more scarey because I am pregnant. So I keep telling myself that it is nothing and that I will return from this visit with the cardiologist and have a simple explination for the symptoms. Wish me luck!!

Heather, we wish you all the best. We will keep you in our prayers along with your little baby. I am a stresser too, so i know your nerves are probably so haywire right now. We think of you often and want the best for you, especially peace of mind.
I'm so sorry to hear that. A friend of mine had heart problems during her third pregnancy. She was okay, but it was scary for a couple of months. She still had problems for about 3 months after the birth, but she's okay now. Good luck, we'll keep you in our prayers.
Good luck. You'll have to keep us updated on what happens during your appointment. What kind of symptoms have you been having??
We love you!!
heather, good luck, please let me know what happens! i would be so nervous too!
I had heart surgery after Adam and I were first married. Oh, the memories of wearing the holter monitor! Except, it seemed like nothing would happen when the monitor was on, and as soon as I took it off, my heart would act up. Crazy. I know the different symptoms can be scary, but it always helped me to see the doctor, it was reassuring to know that someone else was working on a solution, even though waiting for the appointment to come always rattled my nerves. :) Good luck at your appointment and please let us know how it goes.
Heather,
Sorry you have to add another stress on top of being pregnant! I hope everything turns out okay...keep us posted! You're in our thoughts and prayers. Take care!
Heather I hope all is well! You will have to let us know!
Good luck babe! Call me as soon as you find out the results! You're in my prayers sis!
Big hugs to you! I will keep you in my prayers and let me know if I can take Bailey for a few hours to help you out, I am sure Olivia would love to have her over.
Good luck. I hope that everything is okay!
