Stress and Non-Stress December 20, 2006
Throughout this pregnancy my anxiety levels have ebbed and flowed. They’ve been flowing pretty good lately thus the lack of posting. I think now that we’re getting so close that the fears about not actually leaving the hospital with a take home baby are peaking. Even after coming this far I still feel like we could lose it all in a second.
I’m feeling a bit better today after my first non-stress test, though. The little guy passed just fine, so that helps me breath a little more easily.
They really should schedule those things in the evening. The little guy much prefers to move around a lot at night, and he showed his opposition to having the test done this morning by refusing to wake up for a good bit it. The nurse gave me some juice to get him going but eventually had to resort to using the buzzer. Man, he did not like that one bit and promptly woke up. He moved around just fine with appropriate heart accelerations from there on out.
I think the juice buzz finally hit me when I was leaving the parking lot. I managed to let my parking ticket fly out of my hand when I stopped to pay at the booth. Of course I had to get out of the car and go chase the darn thing down so I could pay. I think the parking attendant felt sorry for me after that, because he gave me a piece of chocolate with my receipt. How nice is that?
So, hopefully I’ll manage to chill out for a bit now. I’ll keep having the non-stress tests done once a week for the duration. I’m hoping between that and my upcoming OB and peri appointments I can keep myself from freaking out too much.
