NST (non-stress test)
Posted: 01-24-08 09:40am

So, I go for this weeks NST at 1:30 but we have to leave here at 1 Sad

I hope everything goes well. I'm sure it will. It all went good last Monday.

I guess i'm just scared they are gonna tell me something is wrong and I'm gonna have to have an emergency c-section or something...

I know I really don't have anything to worry about but I just can't help it.

Well, I'll post back how things went after I get home later this afternoon..

Good luck. I go to NST, twice weekly and each time I wonder if they are gonna keep me in hospital.
Its for baby, and it is the safest way to ensure he/she is ok and catch something early.

Thanks...Wow. Twice a week? The ONLY reason he started sending me is because I gained 10 lbs in a little over a month... But I guess it's good because if there was/is something wrong I know they will catch it. It just scares me to death that they could tell me I HAVE to stay. I DON'T want that.

UPDATE ON NST!!!
Posted: 01-24-08 20:42pm

So, I went in at 1:30 and got home at 7:30... I was/am having contractions 8 minutes apart. The baby's heart rate dropped REALLY low a few times so they kept me for SIX HOURS! They did an IV and some kind of test threw an U/S.. I was/am having contractions but not dilating. I'm having MAJOR back labor. The doctor was worried about the heart rate so I go in to the hospital at 11 pm tomorrow night to be induced and hopefully by saturday afternoon i'll have my baby boy.. I'll update you all ASAP
