S.,
I'm sure you are feeling pretty stressed - and that's not good anytime. I agree with each of the posts, having been through multiple losses - and having had a very understanding, compassionate ob/gyn by our side. Absolutely YOU have the right to march into their office every single time you are uncomfortable. I don't know your insurance situation, but I had scheduled NST's at the latter end of my last two pregnancies and they'd chuckle after finding hearttones, etc and tell me things looked great, didn't I feel better? But I couldn't feel movement as strong - which scared the daylights out of me, so I'd leave with a few tears dropping and come back in two days. I can't even count the number of times I would phone or go in. And that's what got me to term with those two pregnancies, those two babies.
I agree with considering a new doc... but first make a phone call to your current doc's office - that you require their reply to. Offer that you need more information or you'll consider moving to another office. If they drop you - you know. I'm guessing they'll, instead, recognize your anxiety and worry - and...
YOU KNOW your body and THIS BABY best. Follow your heart!
things i would recommend asking for are those mentioned below - rule out infections - you had an NST, but how about a (ohmygosh, i can't recall the name of it, brain stall...) the test they go and monitor size of baby via ultrasound - monitor movement, monitor the cord blood flow, etc - it's like a giant ultrasound and giant NST rolled into one. And absolutely, ask for more frequent NST's - see what that cord is doing in there. They can see them via u/s.
Remember, you are the patient - and if YOU need to call, go in, be monitored, YOU do have that right. You may also go directly to LABOR AND DELIVERY or ER for hearttones or monitoring. They REALLY take things seriously if you walk in. I believe our first visit there was free. And it was a full NST review.
I got pretty good at reading the scans, both U/S and NST hearttones - and wouldn't have it any other way.
I soooooo will be praying for you today! Follow your heart!
