So many appointments and tests....

Kristin
I have had a perfect pregnancy, not a single issue. I'm overweight and every week it seems like there's a new test they want me to do. They have now added non stress tests weekly till I deliver. My blood pressure was 120/80, which I read is perfectly normal but they said it was high so that was blood work and a 24 urine collection... Turns out they were using the wrong blood pressure cuff, taken today my BP was 110/64, taken with the proper cuff. I read that non stress tests are usually used when the baby isn't moving a lot, my son moves at least for 10 hours a day. I guess my question would be: do they still make you do the tests every week even if they turn out perfect? My doctor said I had to do it every week no matter what... Just sucks because we lose so many hours a week just going to appointments. Between doctor visits, ultrasounds every 4 weeks, random blood draws and now non stress tests I can only work one day a week... Sorry for the rant
