Interesting day!

I am 38 weeks today, and my doctor requires that at every visit after 32 weeks that I have a nonstress test or an ultrasound. This is because of the IVF and the gestational diabetes. This week I had an NST. Every time they got her heart beat on the machine she would move so it took them a while to get it but she couldn't get a good strip. Their ultrasound tech was not in today so they sent me to the hospital to get some more monitoring. Mind you my first appointment is at 10 and I get to the hospital just before noon. They get me all hooked up and tell me they will be monitoring for 30 minutes to an hour. I lay there on the bed with these monitors on not being able to move around too much for 2 hours. With the test they are checking her movement and heartrate. This timeframe is usually her nap time and I hadn't eaten since breakfast its 1:30 by now. She was just starting to get active when they came in to do an ultrasound. My amniotic fluid was good and she was growing accordingly and moving on the ultrasound. They decided all was good and I could (finally!!!!) go home. I go in less than a week for my preop testing then my c-section is next Friday. Hopefully she cooperates and waits until then!
