This ultrasound was to check a fetal arrhythmia that was heard at our last doctor's appointment with the doppler. A specialist did this ultrasound, and diagnosed PAC's (Premature Atrial Contractions), at a rate of 1-3 per 4-5 minutes. Initially (at our doctor's office), these abnormal skipped heart beats were noted ~ every 5th beat. 99% of these resolve on their own by birth - but we are starting weekly office visits to monitor! We will keep everyone posted.
