Ectopic foetal heart rate...

So this was picked up on Wednesday at routine midwife check. I have since been monitored and had a echo cardiogram thingy (god bless the NHS).

Everyone keeps reassuring me it's benign and will resolve pre or post-natally. The baby seems to be growing well and everything is fine structurally.

However, I am now classified as high risk and unless it resolves itself will have to be continually monitored in labour etc and not have the homebirth I planned. Obviously all I want is a healthy baby however it's born, I'm just confused I suppose. If it's not something to worry about why am I now high risk? If it is something to be worried about then I would like to prepare myself IYSWIM.

I don't know if anyone can help me or has experienced this before?
