Heart Murmur :(

Honey, that sounds careful. Not bad, careful.

Most likely it will be nothing serious. Whatever it is, getting it early is one of the benefits of regular checks. Try not to look for clues in the doctor's manner; they'll treat every murmer seriously, even though most won't turn out to be anything worrying.

*hugs* pointless telling you not to worry yourself sick...but if you feel like venting you know where we are.

Who is "they"? I hope it's nothing and would personally assume it's nothing until I got it checked out for real.

I was coerced into having an u/s with my 2nd pregnancy, had it done on a thursday. On friday my midwife left me a voice message saying that the tech "could not visualize a spinal cord or brain in the fetus" and I would need to see a neonatologist on tuesday. That was a shit weekend.

I also knew a woman thru school who discovered at her pre-op mri that she didn't actually have the brain tumor they planned to remove. Freed up her schedule bigtime...

What a pisser though.
