Monitoring?

Jennifer • My little girl will be five in July and is a huge big helper to her little brother that was born in March.
So I started a new insurance at the beginning of the year and because of that I had to get a new doctor. This new doctor is so worried about my bmi being high that I have to go in twice a week for monitoring where they hook me up to a machine that tracks the baby's heartbeat contractions and if I feel any movements. Does anyone else have to do this?
