Im 40 weeks today as well. I got told that my cervix is soft and 1cm dilated. Has your cervix softened? And my dr set up the 6th as my induction date. I think your dr would tell you if you're getting induced so you can be prepared. And sorry I'm not sure what non stress test is
They are making sure babies heartbeat increases 3 times in 20 min. If not, they will try to startle the baby. If that doesn't work they may induce. I went in 3 tines for nst. Had to startle her once.
I went in for my last appointment at 40 weeks the Dr swept my membrane that was at 1 pm I was in full labor by midnight
Why do they wanna startle my baby?
to make sure the babies heartbeat is increasing..
