Update from NST on Friday

I don't know how many of you know but I have SUA with this baby so I go once a week for NST's.   Well Friday we had a little bit of a scare.   They thought that the cord was being compressed and with SUA the baby isn't able to stablize from the pressure as well as a normal pregnancy.   I ended up being watched for over 4 hours.  It wasn't fun.   I am hoping things turn out ok during labor tho, I don't want a c-section!!  Just wanted to share with everyone.

SUA is single umbilical artery.   Essentially there are supposed to be 3 vessels altogther and my baby only has 2 in the cord.   I go for another check up on Wednesday so I will keep you posted.
