Just got home from the peri and everything looks great! Structurally everything is as it should be, which is a huge relief. The irregularity was still there, but much less often than it was a week (and two weeks) ago. I could go into the specifics of fetal heart functions that Dr B erry explained to me, but the bottom line is my baby boy (and he is still a boy ) is perfectly normal and the irregularity will go away when he takes his first breath at birth. I was so relieved to hear that I almost cried!
He did say my OB will want to see me more often just to keep tabs on the HB, but that in the 600-700 women he's seen with this issue only 2 have deteriorated into something worse. So it looks like my every-other-week appointments will start a bit early. Thank you all so much for the good thoughts and dust and prayers. I know it really helped me to stay calm this past week.

10/24/2011 - Surprise BFP; EDD 6/21/12! BOY!
Sweet baby boy born 6/14 9lb 2oz via csection.
Awesome news - what a relief!
I've been to Dr. Berry's office twice this pregnancy, for ultrasounds and the NT screen, but never met him (always spoke with the techs). Which is a shame because my regular OB's nurse kept telling me how hot he is.
So, is he?
When 3 Became 4
He's not bad, but he's no Dr. C hang
I'm so sorry I have missed all the background but I am SO happy for you! I can imagine how relieved you are :-)
YAYAYAYAY!!!
soooo glad to hear it! That is great news - and how fun that they re-confirmed the sex for you (b/c you never know!).
This IS a shame! I got to see him concurrent with my regular OB when I was pregnant with Molly (which is to say a lot!) I have to say it was the icing on a rather frustrating pregnancy (also he's not an under-the-hood doctor, if you know what I mean, so it was weird at all thinking he was so hubba-hubba.)
Froggi - I'm so glad that you got good news.
Wouldn't say hot.. but he's definitely a cutie.
Yeah for awesome news Froggi!
