stressful stress test

[bevnunez]

Ok so since 31+4 weeks I have to see my ob/gyn once a week and have a non stress test done each time im 32+4 weeks now it is very stressful to me because I have my 4 year old and it has taken l&d like 5 hours both times to get it done, and I have to do this every week till baby gets here.. The reason I have to have it done is bc I lost my last baby at 34 weeks... does anyone else have to do this test and it take so long? But good news my baby girl finally turned head down and is staying that way bad thing she's on my siatic nerve and it hurts all down my right side 2 where I don't want 2 walk it hurts so bad.....

Sorry for the long story...
