Hi everyone,
I also posted this on the GD weekly check in but figured Id ask everyone else as well.
I have GD and have recently started bi weekly NST's and weekly BPPs. The first NST and BPP was Saturday and LO did great, heartrate was consistent and what they wanted to see, he was doing practice breathing and looked stable.
2nd NST was yesterday. He was super active which was good, but on monitor he had issues with acceleration and deceleration in HR. We also found out what I thought was only the baby moving around and putting pressure was actually a bunch of non painful Braxton Hicks. He seemed to tollerate them well for the most part but again there were times where he would fall off his baseline HR of around 140 to 100 and up to 170ish.
They decided to be on the safe side and do a BPP to make sure there was enough fluid around the cord and that he wasnt in distress. That turned out fine and he looked good. However they asked me to come back today for another NST as well as keeping my OB appt tomorrow and doing another set of tests on Saturday.
So long story short anyone else in the same boat? Or anyone else experience this in the past? Was was your outcome. They say that if he fails again today they will probably send me to L&D for more extensive monitoring and take it from there.
UPDATE:
Baby passed the NST yesterday with flying colors. I was hooked up for about 20, 25 minutes and out of there within a half hour. No decelerations and nothing to be concerned about. Thanks everyone who responded yesterday!

Re: Has anyone failed NST's but passed BPPs? *UPDATE*
I've failed NST but passed BioP. Sometimes baby's HR does same thing....accelerates and decels for no particular reason. They think baby is playing with cord and then realizes...hey better let go!
For now, I'm doing twice a week NST's, once a week BP's and kick counts every few hours. Our goal is 37 weeks and I'm almost there!
When I was pregnant with DD1, I had 2 BPPs (in the OB office) and 2 NSTs per week. The NSTs were actually in L&D. I failed one of my NSTs and they just kept me for an extra hour or two. I was already in L&D to do the test so it didn't seem like a big deal at the time. DD1 never failed an NST again after that. I think it was just an "off" day.
It's interesting because I'm at a different hospital/OB group this time and they have me scheduled for 2 BPPs per week but I'll only do an NST if I fail the BPP.
I think Id be a little bit more confident if I was a little further along, but being just under 34 weeks Id love it if things worked out enough for him to stay and bake a few more weeks
We'll see what happens tonight.

She passed all her NST's last week but failed yesterday's NST. They had me do an unscheduled US to measure the AF and then let me go home. We'll see how she does during Friday's test now.
