Contraction Stress Test at 10am!!

Well, in about 2 hours I will be at St. John's hospital in the labor and delivery unit getting ready for them to perform yet another test on me.. A Contraction stress test.

Yeah Me! HAHA.. I dont want this test but the high risk OB said I need it.. so guess what I get!? :)

On the bright side of the spectrum, I no longer have to see the high risk OB.. She said since Victoria has grown, I'm no longer as high risk as I was.

I havent blogged in awhile, but she went from the 7th percentile to the 25th percentile in 2 weeks.. which i just AWESOME!!! (that means orginally she was larger then 7% of baby's her age. Now she is larger then 25% of baby's her age. High Risk is pretty much anything under 10%) SHe's been under 10% since ATLEAST December!!! If not the whole pregnancy! So this is just like.. awesome news!!! Ideally you want yer baby to be at the 50% mark.. as 100% is like, a HUGE baby that would need to be c-sectioned cuz its TOO big!!!

I'm not too extcited about this contraction test deal because it can send you into full blown labor for one.. and for two, if she doesnt show good signs during this test, they could decide to c-section me like, TODAY! And that scares the crap outta me too!

I have high hopes that I dont go into full on labor today and I have high hopes that she passes the test and they dont want to c-section me! It seems my docor is DYING to induce me or c-section me and I keep fighting her on it! As long as its not MEDICALLY necesary, I dont want it done!!! I know many women are out there BEGGING for their docs to c-section or induce them, but its just not in my "plan" hahah.. so.. I fight!!!

I guess I'll have this CST every thursday until the baby is born. I dont understand the point of that.. to me, if she does good today, won't she do good next thursday too? *shrug* I guess its hard to say.. she changes so much all the time anyways! Like, they wont even give me a guestimate of her birth weight because shes so unpredictable, who knows!! Its because she has that growth restrction deal going on.. so she is low weight one day, normal the next.. She's 5 pounds 2 ounces I believe, as of March 12th. So now she's probably 6 pounds? Hard to say!

I'm nervous about this test tho, and I think its going to be a very time consuming test.. which .. joy oh joy! As if I dont spend enough time at doc offices :) I just hope it doesnt hurt too much and I Hope she doesnt decide to be born today..

We'll see I guess :)

I packed all our bags last night JUST IN CASE!!! So I think I'm pretty prepared.. altho I look like im moving into the hospital.. but oh well.. I'll live :)

Gotta get going now.. wish me luck! haha
