Today I had a Fetal Non-Stress Test (NST) at Labour & Delivery and baby is doing good... she's just quiet! It was neat to watch every movement she made and her little heart just beating away. Of course while I'm there I got a few good thumps and kicks... so much for this baby I *never feel*!!! I was so looking forward to not having any false labor trips to L&D with this pregnancy and still I manage to get up there and there's nothing wrong. It's good to know all is well though of course!
At one point I had a strong braxton hicks and the monitor lost her heartrate and the contraction number climbed from 14 to 31 so Chris could actually see that a monitor picks up those nasty contractions. I think it surprised him a bit that these things are *actually* happening and something can detect them! If you look on the sheet you can see where I had the little contraction (squiggly line) and the heartrate is lost.
Little black lines under squares are when I *felt* movement and pushed the button.
Bottom line is baby's heartrate (which should increase with baby's movements).
Stretch marks from my twin pregnancy over 9 years ago! I haven't had any stretch marks with this pregnancy though! :)
