Anxious tonight

This night is dragging by. Let me explain that Tuesday my dr. called and left a voicemail. It started all great that he had reviewed the u/s and all looked great - the arms, legs, head, spine, fluid levels, due date, etc. He sounded all animated, happy and I had this big sappy grin and couldn't wait to tell my hubby. Then the last note was "just an *, their was a change in the baby's heartbeat so as a precaution we are going to have you see the high risk department for a test of the baby's heart". AHHH! Somehow, I have kept it cool til now, but the test is tomorrow at 9:30 and I am scared! To make matters worse, my husband is still on his business trip so I am going alone. I work in medicine, so I am trying to stay calm. I would rather the dr. be extra cautious. I just hope he wasn't lying by saying he is pretty certain its nothing if he really expects it to be something. Anyhow, just having a hard time doing anything productive and trying to keep calm (i don't think high blood pressure will help the baby any). Keep good thoughts for us please!

Re: Anxious tonight
My prayers are with you. If I were you, although everything is probably okay, I would bring my mom or a friend with me.
The day that I found out something was wrong with my first pregnancy my DH had to leave the OB appt early so he wasn't there when I got the news. It was aweful and I had to make an hour drive home sobbing and hysterical so it is best to bring a support person with you.
