Q: My Scare--

Well I had a big scare today. I woke up at 7 and then went back to sleep. Usually, tru keeps me up moving after mike gets up at 7, but not this morning. I got up at 10, and ate breakfast and took a shower, which also usually gets her moving. At 11:00 I still hadn't felt her move all morning! So I got in the car and started driving. My plan was to go to a medical supply store and buy a stethoscope so I could hear her heartbeat. If it was off, i'd go to the hospital. I called mike and he said call the doctor. So when I called them they said "come in now! Can you be here in 15 minutes?" so I got really scared and started crying my eyes out, because I thought they meant she was probably gone! Well they called me back and said don't come in for another 2 hours! They had just told me come in immediately because of their stupid lunch schedule! They got me sooooooooo scared! So I went in and they did and u/s and her heartrate was 157 and she was moving and fine! It was sooo scary!!

They didnt do the non stress test? I was worried to cuz isabelle would move all the time! In the morning, as I eat, in the night and everything. But for one week she just sat there, so at my appointment I told the doc and they made me take the non stress test, which was very boring, lol. And of course she moved all kinds!! Making me look like a dummy! They monitored the heartrate cuz they said her heart rate will go superfast when she moves. And sure enough it did. And since that appointment shes been on the go again! Stinker scared me!

Sorry you got scared too! You should get a flash light and shine it on your belly to see if she kicks to make sure shes paying attention!

Yeah I should!! No, she moved just a little before I actually got to the office, so they just did an u/s and talked to me and sent me home.
