Doctor's Appointment Today


I had a doctor's appointment today to do a NonStress test to check on how the baby is. Kevin and Madison went with. Kevin hasn't been to any of the appointments since the ultrasound. No big deal not much happens anyway and he went to all of them when I was pregnant with Madison.

They checked my blood pressure and it had spiked. So they were concerned. They made me lay on my left side and rest and than they came back in to check it. I thought oh no here we go...I thought I might be induced today. I didn't want to be induced due to high blood pressure and so I prayed it would go down. They let me rest for like 5 minutes and when they checked my blood pressure it was way down. It was how it normally is when I am not pregnant. Yay! I was worried. I am suppose to rest. No wonder I felt terrible all day and barely made it through the day at work today.

After my blood pressure dropped they hooked me up to the machines to monitor the baby. I thought I would be there 45 minutes and I remembered how long I had to be hooked up when I was overdue with Madison. However, at most I was monitored for 10 minutes. And...to my surprise I had a contraction and didn't even know. Yay! I never had contractions with Maddie. I remember being monitored even 2 weeks overdue and not one contraction. So, this is huge. Yay! I say bring them on..especially if I can't feel them.

My doctor called to verify the induction day and it is Wednesday...not Tuesday. So, I go back on Wednesday at 7am to be induced. So here is hoping I progress more or go on my own before that.
