I have heard of the muscles seperating during pregnancy... Fingers crossed that it isnt! Sammy I plan to be induced at 41 weeks if I dont go into labor naturally so I too will probably need a fetal heart monitor. Hopefully the pain goes away soon! Can the muscles reattach to each other with exercise after the baby is born? Sometimes you see images where womens stomach muscles dont reattach and the stomach sags on each side (not that I plan to be wearing a bikini any time soon LOL!!!).
