Sorry ladies I haven't gotten back but yes I did go to the dr my dr wasn't in but I saw a nurse she found a heartbeat she said it was lower than usual and that he's not very active she checked my cervics and it has softened it's really soft ??? whatever that means she ordered me to go do a stress test at the hospital so they r gunna hook me up and monitor his heart rate but I still don't feel him :( I'm just wondering what the whole thing about my cervics being soft will he come early ? It's been a scary pregnancy thanks for all caring :)

The fact that your cervix has softened could mean you may go into early labor. I'll be praying everything is okay!

GREAT that she found a heartbeat,  and great that you're going in for a nonstress test.  You're in good hands.

You don't say how low the heartrate is,  but it sounds like since your cervix is softening there's a problem with the placenta not growing with the same pace as the baby,  and not providing enough oxygen.  

You can relax and know that your doctor is on this,  and they are aware and thank God for medical technology that will bring you and your baby through this!

They're not wasting their time,  Jones.  I read upthread that the baby's heartrate is 110,  and that's a concern.  He's fine now,  for the time being,  but there are decisions to be made if his heartrate isn't up and with good movement.  

Hope it goes well - you're at a stage in pregnancy where if you have to deliver now there's reason to believe he'll be fine.
