It sounds like an SVT. I've seen it twice in utero, and both behaved as you described. One pt was pre-term and we did cardiovert with drugs for the mother. Extremely interesting and a very good learning experience. We kept her in our high-risk unit...

I worked there for two years in the L&D unit. If I remember correctly, I think that night diff was two dollars, and weekend like 1.50. That might not be exactly correct, but it is in the ballfield. I don't know much about the work environment ...
