So, Dr MFM and Dr GP both called me back. The consensus is that it's probably nothing, but I should see Dr Internist ASAP to double check (Dr Internist is quite scary IMO which is why I didn't call him yesterday. He freaks me out.) If accompanied by dizziness, chest pain or shortness of breath it's probably something and I should head to the hospital.
So, this morning I called Dr Internist and he's doing a clinic at the hospital today. The nurse scheduled me in at 2:00 which was great. The irregularity has come back a few times in the past day or so, and this morning, for the first time, I'm quite dizzy. I've been dizzy off and on this whole pregnancy so I don't know how dizzy I should be before I'm worried. Right now, I'm not really worried. I see the doctor at the hospital in just a few hours so I'm sure whatever it is he'll fix me up.
Ah, the fun. I think I might pack a hospital bag in case he admits me.
You know you're a high-risk babylost mom when....
You pack your hospital bag at 18 weeks.
Anyway, on a fun note, I felt my first kick this morning. I've been feeling flutters for weeks, but today was the first defined kick. I had my hand on my tummy and I felt it in my hand too.
Keep growing little bumblebee!

Good luck today. I hope everything is OK.
Yeah for a kick!!!
I hope everything turns out ok. I had a similiar set of symptoms when my hemocrit dropped pretty low from moderate anemia.
Post soon, I am thinking of you.

Grow, bumblebee, grow. I hope the doctor is reassuring and helpful and that you don't need to use that hospital bag.
That's awesome about the kick! I hope you get some answers about the irregular heart beat and everything is ok!
I am glad you called and I hope it turns out to be nothing. I am thinking about you!
