I understand the paranoia.<br /><br />How sad for the other woman, I hope nothing was wrong. I remember being in my OBs office when another woman had just confirmed her miscarriage...

Baby was fine, I was also contracting a little (31 weeks though so a little less ok for me). And I was pretty picky about the nurses wording - "just because 'you think' he's moving less..." <br /><br />um, thanks. I know he was moving less, I might be paranoid, BUT - I know the difference between belly shaking movement (the usual) and the gentle taps that I was getting that day. <br /><br />We have to be our best advocate! Glad you stuck to your guns!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17743811595267950388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719166953467554528.post-52347427656585978782012-03-14T18:25:24.216-05:002012-03-14T18:25:24.216-05:00Oh, how heartbreaking about the other mom's tw...Oh, how heartbreaking about the other mom's twins.<br /><br />Good job watching out for Elliot - glad he finally cooperated with the practice breathing!

During one of my early prenatal appointments with Kaia (before my water broke), I saw a couple come out of the fetal medicine side of the clinic and the mom was crying. I almost started crying right along with her. Just knowing how awful it feels to (maybe?) get bad news about your baby made me so empathetic. It literally broke my heart when she leaned against her husband and you could tell she was upset and crying, while he was holding it together. I hope that other mom's babies are okay. And I'm glad Elliot is okay too! Nine days or less...you can do this!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587287197734518952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3719166953467554528.post-52770526043603988442012-03-14T13:53:53.638-05:002012-03-14T13:53:53.638-05:00I'm am squealing with excitement for you.

I have an NST twice a week and while I don't have any history with stillbirth, I still have little freak outs if my little man doesn't do what he's supposed to do. Then for you to pretty much experience that heartache with that lady...oh, I can't even being to imagine. I am glad you were an advocate for yourself to get another ultrasound and I am so happy everything is okay! <br />I am only about 2-3 days behind you, so our boys may have the same birthday!
