What a night we had last night. Around 11pm, we went to Arrowe Park maternity triage. I was getting bad tightness across my belly and lower abdomin, aching in my back and cramps, also Smudges movements had changed. After being on the machine for like an hr, the doctor said the baby was fine with their movements, etc, and their heart rate was good. The doctor said what was concerning her was my heart rate. It was fluctuating from 90-150/160 whilst I was just lying there. The doctor said she wanted me to go over to A&E to get my heart checked. They wanted to rule out tachyarrhythmia. I had a trace of my heart done, and the doctor checked it with another doctor and said it was borderline tachy, so they took bloods. We waited 7.5 to 8 hours for the results. They have said I need to basically look out for signs of a clot. I'm still having the heart episodes and the belly tightness, which could be braxton hicks, but im doing ok. Those seats aren't comfy at the best of times, but especially when you're 8 months pregnant x
