Am I over reacting??

I decided today that after another BPP of Addy not getting perfect scores, (still not showing a breathing pattern), That I am going to refuse to follow up with anymore of them.

My point, everything the past 2 weeks that has been "wrong" really wasn't wrong at all. Every appointment turns into a 4 hour ordeal of NST's and such, all for nothing, Addy is doing great. Don't get me wrong I would never not go to an appointment just b/c I didn't feel like it, if I thought in any way she was in trouble. I just feel at this point theses things are adding to my frustrations and worries, for no reason.

I had to see my cardiologist today, and although my medications have kept my blood pressures under control I have now crossed the pre-eclampsia mark on my cardio output scale, not by much but a huge jump from last month, the threshold is at 100, of course I had to be at 101. I can't help but think if I was a little less pre occupied with trivial Poo, that I would not be at that point, He also told me not to worry too much b/c he doubts it will rapidly progress in the next 2 weeks to cause any harm.

So I think next week I will see my OB and that's it, I really think I need the rest and that will help the pre-eclampsia more than anything, b/c that is the only thing you can do for it, there is no medication, rest or delivery, well it's too early for delivery so I think rest is what I need, I see my OB again Thur. & I will let him know then that this was my last week of this roller coaster ride, I need a vacation LOL

PS. I think she is gonna be a 35 weeker anyways, been having some good contrations, just not consistant, every hour or so, but these ones are alot more intense than any I have had before. I want at least 1 more week...Cross your fingers for me! ((HUGS))

I feel pretty confident in my decision, Thanks girls! I know in my heart she is perfect, if I had one little nitch of a doubt, I would never miss an appointment, at this point I think the stress has now put me at risk, so it's definately time for a breather before my perfect ;) little girl gets here! :)

kiki I agree with you, your priority now is to be as stressfree as possible and to rest.  As long as baby is doing good then relax and don't put yourself through unnecessary worry!!

I also totally agree, I think the best thing you should do now is just rest. I know how stressfull it is being myself like you having a high risk pregnancy and we dont need any additional stress, so go with your mommy guts and just chill out.
(praying for you and Addy)

I agree totally...Just try to rest up and i'll pray that she stays in a little bit longer for you!!!  Just a couple more weeks or less and all this trivial stuff is going to be over with and you will have what you've been working towards!!

keisha i agree 100% that all these test and what not are just causing you to stress which can be making Addy stress. I understand the dr's are just doing their jobs too but I think as her mother you should have the right to so no more.  I think the best thing for you is rest, plus you have a doppler so if you ever were concerned you can always check her heartbeat. Sometimes a mother intuision is what counts not what some dr says.
