Thread Starter 
Well I have gained 24 pounds and my blood pressure was 110/70. The baby's heartbeat was 140 and everything looked good. My sugar was high several days after lunch and has been high perdiocally but not that bad.

Here's the kicker, someone please answer me this???? weekly non-stress tests and bi-weekly appointments started. An ultrasound at 34 weeks? Why all of this? UM first of all I work fulltime and have a 4 year old at home. Where do I have all this time?? I think it's all a bunch of bullSH*!. I am refusing the 34 week ultrasound and I will do a stress test this month and 1 next month. That's IT! no more leave me alone if the baby is growing and her heartrate is good and my sugar is under control I have to believe it's all bull.......

any opionions here??????

I didn't get the ultrasound, but I think the biweekly appointments started around then for me. I think the dr said they will start earlier this time because I'll be over 40. Maybe the dr is just trying to be extra careful. I'm sure you can refuse if you like.

hmm I start going every 2 weeks when I'm 30 weeks. I don't think I get another ultrasound at all unless something seems to be amiss. I'm sure you can refuse the ultrasound or any other non necessary tests.

Maybe they just want to check on everything. I am sure you can refuse it unless they make it manditory?

I am on every two week visits now too and I am only 25 weeks. Then at like 30 somthing I go to every week.

Shoot, I loved all the ultrasounds, I would have loved to have had a late one like that. My 2 week appointments started there too, and then went to one week a little closer.
