Anyone else get NSTs weekly or multiple times a week?

Question

My baby always makes it difficult lol. I’m always there waiting for accelerations longer than normal. Have been referred to the hospital for more monitoring because of it but then he ends up passing them. Will it stay this way? Get better as he gets bigger? He seems to always move away from the monitor. We’re 35 weeks on Friday and I’m going weekly at this point.

Answer

I go weekly because I'm high risk for a few reasons. Out of the 3, she's cooperated with 2 of them. I'm finding that having some chocolate milk or something about an hour beforehand gets her moving so they can get the readings they're looking for

Answer

I go twice weekly for them cause I’m 37 (AMA). I failed my first one and ended up getting a BPP which I passed. Ever since I bring a juice with me to drink. If she isn’t showing the ups and downs they want to see the juice helps wake her up. I haven’t failed an NST since I started doing this.

Answer

Yes im starting NST weekly till delivery date after 36w cuz im 35 yrs old & considered “advanced maternal age” 🙄 i dont mind the weekly checks but i do mind the euphemism for old.

Answer

I'm 27 weeks now and I started having to have weekly ultrasounds and NSTs at 24 weeks. I have to do this until my scheduled c section at 39 weeks. I never know what to expect because I never had to do this with my first. I'm hoping that I'll never have to head to hospital after one but I prepare myself every time now. I wish you the best of luck because I know how nerve wracking it can be!

Answer

I’ve been doing weekly tests since 30w due to gestational diabetes. 37w now and only one NST left until my induction at 39w. Last appointment (yesterday) the was the first time I’ve had issues with movement, but I pressed one of the monitors down hard and kind of forcefully poked a few times and then had crazy accelerations. If that happens again, see if that helps. I was worried I was going to have to go to the hospital yesterday as well but luckily that did the trick.

Answer

I've been at the hospital for over 24 hours now because my twin B failed her NST yesterday. Lol. Before that I had to do them twice a week. It's a pain lol and they're always running long and doing more test it seems 🤦 so ready to have them lol.
