Non-Stress Test

Last night (Nov. 21), I went to the hospital when Gerry got home and was monitored for a while including a non-stress test on the baby. I haven't been feeling well over the past few days (awful sinus thing again) and haven't felt the baby move much. I was getting somewhat worried, so I called Labour & Delivery and they asked me to come in and get checked out. We were there for about an hour and a half and they monitored his heart rate, movements, as well as any contractions. Turns out everything is fine, thank goodness. His heart rate was very "reactive", which they like to see. There were lots of spikes and dips, which shows a strong heartbeat and active movement. I felt silly for going in there since everything was okay, but they kept reassuring me that it's better to come in than not!

As I said, I haven't been feeling well and really wish that I could take some medication to get over whatever this is! Too bad I can't... :( I'm trying to get lots of rest, as I really want to be over this before he decides to arrive! Wish me luck... :) I have another doctor's appointment tomorrow (39 weeks), so I'll keep you posted!
