The NST today was "reassuring" as Dr. Stoffel likes to put it. (whew---one down!) NST's are measured in the terms reactive (good) and non-reactive (bad). Reactive meaning, the baby's heartrate should increase 20 points for about 20 seconds with activity. She did not do this, however, baby's at 30 weeks gestation often do not. She said usually around 32 weeks...maybe even later, is when they show as being "reactive". Baby's test was reassuring, because she was very active and not having significant dips in her heartrate. so, we will be having NST's every Monday and Thursday...unless we have an ultrasound/Doppler that week...then the NST will be just once/week.
The baby is measuring at 27 1/2 weeks right now. Layla also measured between 1-2 weeks behind starting in the third trimester. no one thinks this baby will be huge no matter when she arrives! :-) so...they will obviously keep measuring that as well.
good day...
