NST....BORING

Ok, I hate being considered "high risk due to AMA". I just started seeing a high risk dr today and I've been poked..for blood, scanned...for amniotic fluid amount and monitored for baby's heart rate...etc etc. This is going to be twice a week ??? Now the doctors are telling me they want to induce at 39 weeks just because of my age (46).?? This SUCKS??...Oh btw...all of my test came back NORMAL...WTF???!!!

My doula had some of the most freeing advice in regards to this, as I’m having a similar experience. She said, “it’s not healthy to be stubborn, but I want to empower you to say no to some of these extra tests if they stress you out.”

For some reason, saying “empower” helped me a lot. I’m scheduled for twice a week NSTs because of twins, yet my NSTs have been normal. And while I haven’t dropped them down to once a week yet, it felt amazing being given permission (being EMPOWERED) to say “things have been normal, can we drop this to once a week?”

So we here at the bump forums EMPOWER you to talk to your doctor and perhaps suggest that because things have been normal, maybe you don’t need to do all the extra stuff and keep it at a minimum? ?

(Okay maybe not WE at the bump forums, but me personally! And good luck, these last few weeks are way harder but soon enough it’ll all be irrelevant because we will have our babies!!!)

And NO WAY would I let them induce for age or even baby’s weight for that matter!

Um, no!! You should not be considered high-risk just because of AMA!! I’m 40, but my OB & midwife have both said they’d rather have a healthy lady in her 40s than a patient who is not-so-healthy in her 20s. I would not stand for any “high-risk interventions” just because of age!! IF there are other medical conditions present, that could be another story.

You can refuse to be induced. I probably would if my doctor wanted to schedule an induction for me. Luckily he’s behind my decision to carry to 42 weeks before induction.

Only benefit of being high risk. In two weeks, I start weekly ultrasounds to measure my cervix. Waiting on a call from my OB to make an appointment to start progesterone injections. Two appointments every week. 😂😂

are any mommies to be high-risk? I am because of my kidney disease. With my first child I didn't have high risk because I didn't have my disease but now I'm always worried.
