Non-Stress Test (32nd week)
 |
This post is so overdue. Just thought that I should take a break and share what we’ve been up to. Nothing much about the house yet. As I was a little under the weather for the past few weeks, especially with my consistent irritating cough, I thought I experienced a decrease in fetal movements. I consulted the midwife via phone and the GP and they advised me to drop by the hospital to undergo a non-stress test just to get some reassurance. So, off we went to the hospital and in no time, the midwife put some straps on my bump to detect the fetal heartbeat for 30 minutes. I was also given a device with a button and was instructed to trigger it whenever I sense any kicks or movements. The session was encouraging as I managed to experience more than 10 movements in that duration. As you can see from the graph, the mark circled in red indicates the movements, which is coherent with the rise in heartbeat. The health check definitely instill peace in our minds. Subsequent scan also showed signs of Cameron’s healthy growth. Unfortunately, he is already too big for the sonographer to capture a 4D image. Otherwise, I could have gotten a coloured pose of his features. Maybe he wants me to be patient and hang in there for just another 8 weeks.
hahaha… ya! very soon, sis, another 8 weeks to go!!!! so, be patient ler. :p don’t scare your baby cameron.
