3rd Trimester

thinking I should ask to have the baby

last week, at my 35 week visit, the dr discovered the baby's heart was skipping a beat.  She said it wasn't a big deal but sent me to labor and delivery to be monitored and have some blood work done, I was there until 9:30 at night, my appointment was at 3:00.  I also went to a pediatric heart specialist who also saw the skipped beat, but said it was very normal and not to worry.  I need to have the baby's heart rate monitored and they'll do an EKG when the baby is born.  When I went for my weekly visit this week I had the heart monitored for a while, and just to make sure things were ok she had me sit around to wait for another ultrasound.  The dr. and I didn't hear the skipped beat, but the ultrasound lady did.  Next week I'm going to the dr mon and thurs to monitor the heart and a high risk dr wed, just to make sure everythings ok.

Has anyone else gone through all of this while the drs keep saying everything is fine?  I feel like at this point it may be a good idea to just have the baby so they can monitor him more easily.  This is my last day of work, but I have a 2 year old, so making all of these appointments is difficult.  I was also induced with my daughter and it was such a great experience I wouldn't mind doing it again that way.
