so at 32 weeks gestation, this is my 'normal' doctor schedule...

[cowboys angel]

Monday: non stress test, and ultrasound every week
Tuesday: childbirth/nursing classes every week
Wednesday: normal OB appointment every other week
Thursday: non stress test every week
Friday: NO APPOINTMENTS

Anyone else have to deal with seeing their doctor this often??

I did in my last pregnancy.....but it was because I had a heart condition. DO you have something going on that makes you high risk? Or that they are watching for? NST's twice a week so early on is quite abnormal.

 

[cowboys angel]

I have the NST's twice a week and ultrasound once a week to monitor my baby's growth and amniotic fluid levels.

I have had 2 mc's, and I have asthma badly, so I was high risk already, but then they discovered that my baby has Single Umbilical Artery, only one artery going to her through the umbilical cord, so I am high risk due to that.

Also, she is only measuring a little over 2lbs at the last ultrasound. Poor baby is so tiny. They're doing the NST's and ultrasounds to try and figure out if she's just small, or if it's due to the SUA

Id want that kind of medical care if I had SUA.
Perhaps two NSTs/week is excessive though.

 

[cowboys angel]

I'm very glad that I have good medical care, especially with the SUA being a factor, as well as her size.

I did when I was pregnant.

The week before I was induced, I had a NST everyday freaking day. I didn't take any of the classes because of the baby's issues. (They wouldn't apply to me)

Good luck!
