25 weeks - went in for NST today

I've been feeling some pressure and tightening for the past couple days. It was making me super nervous.... so I called the doctor's office yesterday. The phone nurse was super nice and told me to call back this morning and give an update. When I called it was a new phone nurse. She told me it's normal and didn't want to do anything. Well, after the nurse yesterday acted concerned there was no way I was taking that for a final answer.

I told her I wanted to be monitored. She talked to the Dr., called me back and told me to come in. That was a relief.

Good news - no contractions. Everything looked fine. I feel so much better. I have been a nervous wreck wondering if I was having signs of PTL.

The nurse hooking me up to the machine made me feel even more confident in my decision to be a little pushy. She said she delivered her 1st son at 25 weeks. He lived for 2 months in the NICU... but passed away. They never got to bring him home. Hearing that made me glad I went in to be monitored.

I realized that I am the only voice for my little ones. If I don't speak up - who will?

 

GOOD JOB MAMMA!!!!

 

Glad you went in and everything is good.

You are right, you are their only voice...good point for all of us to remember

How very sad. Makes me realize, not that we don't know already, how very lucky I am/was with my two.

 

You are so very lucky. Your babies are a great success story. Be thankful for that.

 

Good for you for pushing the issue. You are right, you are those babies advocates. Glad to hear everything is OK!

 

Good for you!! Always go with your gut...something feels wrong, definitely question it!

We do know how lucky we are. We thank God everyday for watching over them.

And I agree, you are the only advocate for your babies!!! Speak up, and I'm glad you did.

 

Hi Jessica! I'm glad to hear you and your twins are doing so well! Did they determine what the tightness is?

I'm glad you went in, too. Better safe than sorry. Even still, 25 weeks is a great milestone! let's hear it for 28 wks!
