Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Irregular heart beat in the fetus can be due to congenital heart blocks or congenital heart anomalies in the fetus.
If the cardiologist has done the fetal echo and has not found anything abnormal, then you should get a repeat fetal echo after 2 weeks to confirm that everything is normal.
You should also get your ANA, SS-A, SS-B antibodies levels checked as their presence in the mother's body can cause congenital heart block and irregular heart rate in the patient.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
