First BPP tomorrow!

Karrie
I have to have bio physical ultrasounds every Tuesday and non stress tests every Friday up until birth because I have gestational diabetes. After reading up on them, and seeing some women's posts about them I'm super nervous! If you don't know what they are (i didnt) with the BPP they look for 3 big movements within a half hour, measure the fluid, look at the blood supply in the umbilical cord, and make sure she is practicing breathing. They score you on and 8 point scale and I believe you have to get 6 points to pass...not sure on that part. The NST they just monitor you as if you were in labor...to monitor the heart rate, movements and make sure you're not contracting. If I fail the BPP I'll have to go to the hospital and be monitored...possibly over night. I have a 7 and 9 year old who would be so worried about me and the baby if that were to happen. So I'm really praying she is active (she has lazy days or times throughout the day where she doesn't move much) and everything else is measuring all good and I pass with flying colors. Ugh... It's 1 am. I need to be up and ready by 7, and I'm so worried. Time to try some meditation 😐
