Fetal stress test

Hi ladies, I have chronic hypertension and looks like I will be getting the fetal stress test to monitor the baby’s heart rate and movement from 32 weeks until delivery once per week. Have you all taken this test before? What should I expect? If you could tell me how the test goes for any of you that have experience 😘

I’m beginning to get sooo stressed out with these tests and check ups. I don’t know why I do this to myself, but every time I go to the OB I work myself up and my BP is super high. I also monitor my BP at home and it’s always in a good, healthy range. I think subconsciously I am so scared of getting preeclampsia or something that may not be good for my baby and I just freak myself out! How do you mama’s stay calm? I’ll be 30 weeks on Wednesday and just trying to hang in there. Besides the recent stress and tests, I have had a really wonderful and easy pregnancy, so I should not be complaining. It’s just driving me crazy that I am not able to calm my mind at times!
