Well today I went to my OBGYN for lack of movement.. you would think pretty normal but nope here’s the catch..

Well I’ve gone in for lack of movement multiple times & no I don’t have an anterior placenta. Well there’s been times I’ve called during the day, at night, gone to L&D, gone for NSTs, ultrasounds, you name it.

Anyways, today I saw a different doctor(my practice is made of a team of doctors) and she kinda came in & gave me a talk. She said “baby is doing great, NST was good, great heartbeat, ultrasound is great etc.” So of course that all sounds great but it gets interesting..

She suggested we do NSTs twice a week NOT for a medical reason but so that I don’t call the office or L&D every single time I don’t feel movement. She stated ALL the times I’ve called & gone into the office & said it’s ridiculous & since NST results last 48hrs it would be best to do them twice a week to avoid constant calls.

She then asked my husband for his opinion & he said “well it’s a bit frustrating you guys tell us to call whenever we don’t get 5movements in an hour & that’s what we do” he said “we don’t benefit from coming in we simply want to make sure our baby is ok, things can happen & we really want this baby & would hate if something happened” She said “you’re doing all the right things you’re supposed to call us etc.”

Well me being pregnant I felt so emotional because she’s basically telling me I’m too paranoid & I call too much & I need to tone it down. I felt like I was doing the wrong thing but then I’m told I’m doing the right thing. Ughh I felt so horrible. Either way I did not commit to the NSTs because I don’t need to sit there twice a week for 20-45mins when there are days I feel my baby all the time. I also don’t want to take the space of a women who truly NEEDS these NSTs for me who doesn’t really need it.

My appointments will be every 2weeks from now to 36weeks and then change to weekly. I’m going to try my best to get my little man to move all the time until he’s here. I have about 9weeks left and I can make it happen.

Sorry for the long post just had to share my experience with you mamas!
