Scary Morning

I went in to the doctor's today for my glucose test and everything was going fine until my doctor did the monthly heartrate check. All of a sudden her heartrate dropped from the normal 130 to 90 and then down to 80. This concerned her so she put me on a fetal monitor for half an hour and everything seemed to be normal. She still wanted to be extra cautious so she did an ultrasound to make sure baby's fluids and everything were okay and it was. Doctor thinks the baby moved and maybe was pressing on the cord for a few seconds and that's why the heartrate dropped like that. So, everything is fine which is great, but, it was a very emotional, trying day...a typical half hour appt turned into 2 1/2 hours...not a fun morning.
