NST's. anyone else ?

Question

Today I had to have a NST (non stress test) due to a couple high blood pressures yesterday and one today while at the doctors. I'm 35 weeks and this is the only time it's been high! The doctor said I'll prolly have to do it twice a week from here on out.. Does anyone else have to do this ? Also is your doctor talking/suggesting an early arrival due to this?

Answer

I'm on my second week of twice a week nst testing. I also see the ob once a week. My labs all say I don't have pre eclampsia but my BP is high. I'm getting induced no earlier than 38 weeks and no later than 39. Unless my new labs show symptoms or I go into labor on my own. I'll be 37 weeks Saturday so I don't have long left.

Answer

I've been having to do 2 NST's a week since 32 weeks I will be 36 weeks Saturday. I'm a type 1 diabetic and as of the last few weeks was diagnosed with preeclampsia too. I also have to do a 24 HR urine and bloodwork 1x weekly and on bed rest. Doctors keep telling me they want me to get to 37 weeks, but no later than 39. Baby is also measuring big and in the 99th percentile. It's good to hear there are others doing 2 NST's a week also.

Answer

It's been stable in the 140s/90s for the last couple weeks. I'm not on any medication for it. If it starts to go up from there they will induce sooner. Before it was always normal. It just started going up the last few weeks.  I had an episode of high blood pressure before pregnancy so I've monitored it at home since I found out I was pregnant.

Answer

I do NST's weekly, just more monitoring for my baby which I don't mind

Answer

I'm 36 weeks and have had 2 NST's so far and will have one every week until I deliver. I don't have high blood pressure, but did have a severely elevated blood AFP level early in pregnancy. After ruling out spina bifida and other complications, a high AFP can signal placental issues later in pregnancy- so they are checking to make sure everything is still good in there and she isn't in any distress.

Answer

I just developed high BP at 37+1. I was sent in for NST and after laying in the hospital bed mine went slightly down. I have NST twice weekly now and my dr said I won't make my due date but they are hoping to get another week out of me. Took my BP today and got 148/96, mentally preparing to be induced at my appointment tomorrow, I'll be 37+4.

Answer

I have to do two Nst's a week and a AFI ultrasound once a week due to my son being in the 9th percentile of size.  I've been doing it since 29 weeks and I'm 35 now. My dr. said they will not keep him in any longer than 38 weeks. His movement and heart rate is fine and my blood pressure is great and no sign of preeclampsia. They just want to keep him monitored.

Answer

I go weekly for one!
