The "Non-Stress" test

*** Click on the image to see some video of today’s test. All the little thumps you’ll hear in the background are the baby HICCUPING! The loudest hiccups ever!

So I had *another* doc appointment today. (Can you tell that all these “non-stress-tests”are STRESSING ME OUT?) Today’s results: the baby is FINE. Better than fine. GREAT! And guess what? I have *another* biophysical profile on Monday! And I am sure the results will be FINE!

Some protocol somewhere says that that “if you don’t want to get sued in the event that something goes wrong, make pregnant women who have gestational diabetes and are being treated with medication come in twice a week and have tests that will run up their medical bills.” So, from here ’till the baby comes, This is what I will be doing on Mondays and Fridays while Nana is here. (I personally think this is the doc’s way of trying to wear me down and consent to an even EARLIER C-Section, but who knows.)

Can you tell I’m a tad irked at having to spend all this time at the doc’s office? Oh well, better safe than sorry, as they say.

It *is* kind of neat getting to lay still and listen to this baby swim around and to see it on the ultrasound so I guess I’ll focus on the positives. :o )

I could literally hear the fluid swishing around in there whenever the baby would move (which happened to be A LOT today!) Be sure to click on the image above to hear it!
