For the past 2 weeks now, and up until due date, I have to go to the doctor 2x a week for a stress test and ultrasound. Anyone else out there having to do the same?
They told me I have to do these because I am considered "obese", which I don't think so, but whatever. lol So they want to make sure the baby is thriving and not under any stress due to my excess fat. ;p So far all tests come back positive and showing that she's one happy lil fetus and doing very well, (which I could have told them...I'm the one that feels her bouncing, kicking, squirming, hiccupping, etc all throughout the day... :D ) But I'm also not complaining because an ultrasound every week?! Awesome!! Unfortunately the past 2 weeks she's been head down and facing my spine so no good pictures... :( But its still nice to see her, getting bigger each week! The past 2 weeks also they've been saying she's measuring 2 weeks bigger so I hope that means she comes earlier and that I go into labor naturally! (Been induced past 2 babies and want to know what its like to just go into labor on own!)

1 more month to go!! (give or take....) Can't wait to see who has their baby first! lol

Well, thank you and congrats to you too. :) They want to induce around a week early, but my ob's don't really tell me much about it. they measure and listen to his heartbeat, but don't say anything about anything else. its a bit frustrating.

i have to have this done too! I find it annoying, but it keeps me busy. My son is due december 16th, but they want to induce me, considering they believe he is going to be big.
