non stress test weekly?

optimist13optimist13
in March 2011 Moms

my bp has been creeping up (was 134/85 yesterday) but all other pre-e tests look good (liver tests, protein/urine tests) but doc wants me to monitor my bp myself twice a day and go for a non-stress test every week this month. anyone else getting this treatment? i am assuming its only because i am over 35? 

 

*edit* good to know i am not the only one! how do they make the baby move if she isnt already wiggly?

    I have GD as well and go for NST's twice a week.  I have been since the first week in January.  Its kind of a pain, but its nice to hear the baby's heartbeat so often and know that everything is ok.

    I had my first this morning (due to a blood issue I have) and I asked how they make baby move if he is sleeping... the lady said they will give you something sugary to drink and if that doesn't work there is some type of buzzer that they can hold up against your belly to essentially wake baby up.

    I'm 33 and don't have any physical issues, but my dr has just ordered weekly NST once a week until delivery due to reduced fetal movement.  I feel her move every few hours or so, but she ordered them just to be safe.
