Stress test?

[iicato]

I am 30 weeks today, baby girl is healthy. Weighing 3lbs 2oz. But I was informed that I have to start seeing my doctor twice a week, and they want to do a stress test on me in two weeks. I'm a high risk pregnancy (type 1 diabetic). Anyone else have to do this? What should I expect? Is this part of the normal process?

Thank you, finally!

I get a non stress test twice a week because of gestational diabetes and my baby is perfectly healthy. They just want to make sure :)

When you are a diabetic it is a normal part of the process. In a low risk pregnancy a non stress test or stress test would only be warranted if their was a concern. However diabetics (both gestational and non) have a higher rate of stillborn babies (still rare, but better to be safe) so its common practice to keep a closer eye as the pregnancy nears the end.
