Arrhythmia

I'm 36 weeks 2 days and up until now have had no problems at all. At my appt on Wednesday my OB was doing an u/s and she noticed LO had a little heart arrhythmia that wasn't going away and he's never had it before, so she wanted me to go to the specialist I went to for my AS. She said since it showed up this late in pregnancy it's usually due to caffeine and will go away by itself. I only drink a cup of tea in the mornings and have my whole pregnancy, though Tuesday afternoon I got a tall refresher from Starbucks that was caffeinated, so I'm wondering if that was what caused it. Anyway I'm going in again today for a Doppler to check to see if it's gone since I cut out all caffeine, including chocolate :( anyone else have a similar experience and have had the arrhythmia go away? Or if not, what was the treatment like?

  • I don't have any experience but wanted to send t and p your way.
    GL. try not to stress. Especially since your OB doesn't seem overly concerned.

  • I did at my 38 week nst this week. She had an arrhythmia and they asked me about caffeine I said I had a can of soda the night before. They sent me for an us right after and listened for a good 10 min straight with no arrhythmia. She said all was good and I have another nst Monday. GL!
