AW/Dear Diary: Failed NST and almost failed BPP

Today at my scheduled OB visit I failed my NST. I take two NSTs a week due to my Velamentous cord insertion. It has been explained each passing NST means LO can stay in the womb longer and there aren't any concerns. Well I failed due to lack of activity. She was a little active just not where the doctor wanted it to be. So I had to come back for an biophysical profile. In the meantime, I had my visit with the doctor, got tested for Strep-B, and he checked my cervix for the first time. I'm 2 cm dilated at 35 weeks and 4 days. I asked if that was good or normal considering my cord insertion. He said yes especially if I were to be induced early. After my visit I did the BPP and almost failed due to LO not practicing her diaphragm breathing. She eventually did when I thought the tech was gonna get the doctor. I got so nervous I was gonna get induced today! I need to pack my last hospital bag, do some house cleaning, and install the car seat. If I ever needed motivation to finish nesting today was it.
Also, my sinus drainage is a full blown cold. It's been quite the day.

  • Omigosh how nerve-wracking!   I'm sorry you had such a stressful day!   Better finish up that nesting mama...hehehe.   Seriously though try not to stress yourself too much.  I'm sure when the day comes you will do just fine!   And if you don't get everything done then hey just remember...LO won't even notice the dust bunnies!  ;)
