Re: NSTs!

  • I have my first one next week, I must admit it makes me anxious as well.

  • I totally agree!  I get them twice a week now.  With DD I had them twice a day for 10 weeks while I was on hospital bedrest.  I dreaded being put on the monitor because she ALWAYS failed!  The would send me from antepartum to L&D for further monitoring all the time.  It sucked.

  • I totally agree!!!  They should call them mama stress tests!!

    I have been going for NST's bi-weekly now for 4 weeks!

    Tuesday due to NST I was put in the hospital for overnight  fetal monitoring and the baby was fine.

    I've been sent up to L&D 2 times already after the doctors NST. 

    I had another NST today.  I was so stressed and nervous all night.  LO passed today and was good.  I go again on  Tuesday.  Tuesdays are usually the day she seems to not do well in the doctors office.

    Thank goodness I am 37 weeks tomorrow and if need be I can have the baby already.  I have 2 more weeks worth of these tests if she doesn't come on her own.

     

  • My first one stressed me out cause he was almost not passing... they had me sit in the office 10 more minutes and he finally passed so I didn't have to go up to L&D... every since though he's been fine. Fingers crossed for my NST & U/S today!
