We had a scare just before Christmas in 2011. I was pregnant with our daughter and we went in for the second ultrasound a few days before Christmas. The doctor reading the ultrasound couldn’t get a good view of her heart and he asked us to come back the next day for a second ultrasound with a pediatric cardiologist. My husband and I sat for two solid hours watching as one and then two doctors looked at the screen, hmmed, and squinted, rubbed their chins, and then at the end said, “Everything looks fine.” It was a case of extremely cautious doctors with some very fancy machinery at their disposal and it was the most stressful 24 hours of my life.
