I live in Italy and here from 38 weeks you have to go in for regular non-stress tests. It's so annoying as I'm not high risk and don't feel the need for this constant monitoring. My hospital is a 40minute drive away, the appointments last an hour and are always late so I end up spending all morning at the hospital. I have a 3 year old daughter as well so have to arrange childcare for her. All I want to do at this stage is put my feet up and rest before baby arrives, not go for these constant appointments. It's reassuring to know everything is ok with the baby but surely it's not really necessary at this stage?
