NST update

MayBride2B2007

good news: my BP was lower today and closer to my "norm" for the pregnancy.

bad news: they had to keep me on the monitors for almost 2 hours because cuppa had a significant "dip" early on.  my OB was on call and came down to talk to us and said that it was concerning enough that i have to go back in tomorrow morning for another test, but not concerning enough to admit me, yet.  i'm to take it easy today and we'll see how tomorrow goes. 

despite this, i feel okay.  she was really active during the test which was very reassuring for me.  so, i now have a total of 6 appointments next week.  seems outrageous to me, but what can you do?

Sorry cuppa gave you a scare. But remember every day that she is inside you, is another day she is growing strong! You are so close now, that even if she comes early, you'll both be in great shape!

6 appts next week sounds rough. Are they taking you out of work yet? That's gotta be tough to schedule around.

She is already a little hellion   Sorry that she gave you a scare and yes six appts is crazy but at least you are getting great care.

Yikes.. 6 appts is crazy..I have two plus my childbirth class, and I feel like THATS a lot..  I hope Cuppa comes sort of soon, just so you can stop going to so many appts! I am glad Cuppa is doing well for now and that your BP is down.. Good luck tomorrow! Were you having any contractions on your NST today?

oh jeez, if i add in my breastfeeding class that is 7 things in one week.

i assume i had at least one contraction, which was the decel of her heart rate that they were concerned about.  i really wasn't feeling much though and she was moving a ton, so that could have made it hard to distinguish what was going on for me.

Wow - 6 appointments next week - but just think - this craziness is only temporary.  You're almost there!  And then the craziness will be because of a gorgeous newborn!

6 appointments, wow! I'm glad to know she is OK though and honestly in the grand scheme of things it's not too much longer... every day counts! You can do it!!
