Worried, help!

So this past week has left me feeling worrried and guilty (which I know I Shouldn't be but I can't help but think its my fault) I am 34 weeks as of today.

I went to the drs to find out I will be starting weekly appointments as well as getting 2 NST, 1BPP weekly and then as well a level2 ultrasound biweekly.

The reason: baby girl has slowed down in her growth rate and they are worried about the attachment of the umbilical cord. My doctor said she is about 95% sure I will have to be induced early. Has anyone else had a similar problem or know of someone who did? I am beyond worried and stressed at this point which I know isn't helping at all.

No experience but sending up T&P for you and lo.

Thanks, I'm sure it will be fine. Just makes me worried and I have no clue what to expect. My doctor said we have to wait to see what the outcome of the tests are

T&P your way, I am glad they are monitoring you closely.

I had the same happen last week. At 36 weeks LO is measuring less than 5 lbs. I have the same weekly tests as you. If the baby hasn't gained weight by next week I will be induced at 38 weeks so LO can get the nutrients he/she needs. For now I am on bedrest and despite having GD, am on a high calorie/protein diet to gain weight.
Just wondering why you feel guilty? My LO is healthy and it is nothing I did. I have complete faith in the doctors as they are equipped to handle these scenarios. Take one day at a time and relax best you can. Stress isn't good to add to LO's environment. Also, ask ALL questions you have. It does help ease your mind. Prayers.

I don't have that experience but my prayers are with you

One of my good friends had to go through this. She is actually being induced today and she made it to 39 weeks and a few days. Just do what you can to make sure baby cakes is ok and try not to stress about the things you cannot control.

No experience, but check out the high-risk board. You might find a bit more information/experience there. GL.

T&P for you and your precious babe. Hopefully everything is ok. It's good they will monitor you closely

Thanks everyone. I just wish I could give her the nutrients she needs so I don't have to deliver early. Hopefully everything goes well at these next appointments.
