Well, the non stress test was nonreactive for a good 20 minutes and then the Dr came in and BUZZED my belly and boy did that get Clara moving :) Her heartbeat is on the lower 140s side resting and the 160s when active.
The Dr picked up a few contractions but we think they are probably braxton hicks since I didnt feel pain just tightening. But at this point the baby's heartrate drops with them. So, we are hoping this will correct itself before the baby's birth as she puts on weight.
I go back in a week. Fundal height is still 6 weeks behind. I've put on 3 lbs from being on bedrest. Sigh! I got a prescription for nexium so that I can get some relief from this heartburn.
So next week I have another NST/1 Week Ob appt on Monday and on Wednesday I have my 3d/4d ultrasound to check growth, doppler in the placenta, and amniotic fluid. And it will be this way until this baby is born.
I asked about Dr Wrights LPN putting me on bedrest and she agrees with the decision but did give me permission to go to Church on Sunday and Book Club on Tuesdays so long as I dont have to do any major walking. Yay!
All in all it was good. I just am having a hard time with sitters for Hailey and we cant really afford for Evan to take off work. He had to again this mornng to keep Hailey because there is no way she could sit through an NST. It's just a wait and watch game again... and that's the hardest part... waiting and watching.
