oh pregnancy.

just got back from the ob a bit ago...

it was just a regular check up, but after telling the dr that i was cramping pretty much all day yesterday and i havent been feeling him move a whole lot the past couple days, they decided to hook me up to a fetal monitor for a non-stress test. i was thinking the lack of movement was just due to him having less room, but i guess they just wanted to make sure.

so i basically hung out with the monitors strapped on and i was supposed to click a button everytime i felt the baby move. it was kinda weird... and i decided during the test, which lasted about 15-20 minutes, that we are so lucky that we dont walk around hearing the baby's heartbeat constantly. at one point he dropped from the 150's all the way down to the 80's, and hearing the drop freaked me out. the dr said its normal that babies heartrates do go up and down and it wasnt anything to worry about.

after looking over the results, the dr determined that i am having mild contractions so i was lucky enough to get an internal exam! yay!.. total sarcasm for those of you that dont know the sarcasm that is krp. but i am all good, and my cervix is still closed, woohoo! i just need to monitor the number of contractions i have in an hour, and how often my little man moves.

now im real tired and ive decided that a non-stress test is in actuality a bit stressful. i was feeling like things were normal and then got hooked up to a machine. oh pregnancy.
