Bad Appt-a bit scary

[grapeapeaf]

Went to my 36 week appt today. Blood pressure was up and they found some protein in my urine. I have to do the 24 hour urine test. If the results of that don't look good tomorrow then they will pick a day this week to deliver. If it looks ok I will still be delivering on the 10th of April. I am just nervous. I don't feel my girl move hardly ever anymore and then at the NST they were struggling to find two different heart rates so now I have to go back for another NST tomorrow to see if they can find her. Please pray that they are both ok.

I'll be thinking of you.
Have you tried all of the tricks to get her to move? Like drinking OJ, chewing ice, eating sweets? Maybe that will wake her up.

Oh April I know this must have been a scary day for you esp re: the heartbeat but I know everything is going to be just fine. You and I are so close and at this point I barely feel my babies move too. I even panicked in the middle of the night last night and started pushing and poking on my belly. Then I felt something but couldn't be sure if it was a baby (or which one) or a gas bubble but I went in today for an amnio and all was fine - perfect even...

I am praying that your urine test comes out fine. My BP has been somewhat higher this last week than it has been all along too but teeny tiny protein and no one has said anything to me about a 24 hour so I am sure you are ok in this dept and that what's happening is just end term stuff.

Please keep us updated - we are all here for you...

well the good news is you have made it VERY far without the BP problem...I have Pre-e and am in the hospital now due to it...As far as the NST goes...I wouldn't worry too much, cause if the DR was really worried they would have done a BPP (biophysical profile) via u/s. If they still have probs tomorrow, I would request one. seriously. My baby A is next to impossible to get on NST, and they brought in the u/s machine today to check things out...Bes of luck to you.

Same here, almost.

I went in to get a NST, and an ultrasound to check on them...with my antibodies she wanted to make sure they were okay. I also commented I have barely felt them move in 3 days, but at the ultrasound they were just fine.

After the NST, I was told to come again in a couple days. The 2nd one, my blood pressure was up, they did blood work, and a urine test...I passed those.

Then back again for 3 NST, blood pressure still staying above my "normal".

Now I am on modified bed rest, with home monitoring...they (nurses) come to my home everyday to do a NST, and they gave me a blood pressure monitor and urine sticks to use. My blood pressure has been bottom # (70-80) and this past week...avg bottom # 96.

Feeling the babies, I have to do a kick count 2 times a day. But when it comes to finding Baby B they have a hard time tracking him down, he is moving around...and we think his chest is facing my front, making it harder to find his heartbeat,...they get a better reading if they find the back.

I hope all is going to be well, and you will be able to deliver soon if need be.

April,
I will be thinking of you.

When they do your NST do they also use u/s? Just wondering, at mine they start with u/s to see breathing and find position then they hook up to monitors. If there are still problems tomorrow I would ask for an u/s too. Just a suggestion.

Please update when you can.

Good luck tomorrow! I'll be hoping everything goes well. It's almost over. Hang in there!
