Skip beats: How do you know it stopped? Were u wearing a monitor? If you just felt a skip and a pause that was probably a skip beat colled premature contraction the beat that follows feels stronger like a thump if you continue to feel it you should have a holster monitor placed to demonstrate what is happening at night.
