Everything looked good today

Baby measured 37 w 5 d ...when I'm at 38 w 5 days

7 lb 11 ounces

During nst ...I felt like baby's heart range really changed during contractions....super quiet as it came on and then as it was releasing it was super loud. But they said baby looks perfect!

My blood pressure was super normal, 121/76

I got home and it was 142/89

So I think the best I can interpret there is this machine may measure high so I might need a higher threshold before I get scared

Did they take your BP while you were laying down/reclined for NST? I swear my BP has never been so good until they started taking it when I'm laying down.

Oh...yes they did...good point

Also depending on your weight gain in your arm, if the cuff is borderline too small, it'll jack things up.

Glad things look good for you and baby!
