NSTs

When are your twice weekly NSTs? Mine are every Monday and Friday for one month then they randomly switch to Monday and Thursday my last month of pregnancy. Is there a reason for that or they just felt like doing it? I didn't get to ask I just stopped by to get my schedule. I'm annoyed because i have to change the majority of my appointments due to school and clinical, even though I told them my availability. Ugh high risk.

Mine are on Monday's and Thursday's... I don't think they will change those days unless I ask them too.

Yeah I don't know why mine did. I told then Mondays and Fridays were good...then they went from scheduling me at 3pm on Monday's to as early as 1pm the following month, when I have school. I dont even know if I can change these appointments. And I wont find out my clinical schedule until January but knowing my luck I will have it on Thursday's.

You should call and see if they will let you change them. My doctors office is always really good about scheduling them on the dates and times I want.

Mine are either Mon/Thur or Tue/Fri.  They didn't want too much of a time lapse in between appointments.

Yeah I'm going to ask if they can change them when I go in next week.  Last time I asked to change like 3 appointments they gave me a huge attitude.  I have to change about 10 appointments this time...they're really not going to like me now!

Sorry you are getting an attitude from your office.  Hopefully when you ask they will be a little more understanding.  I only have one a week but they are amazing at moving my appointments if need be, especially while college was still going on for me.

Mine are on Mondays and Thursdays but the next two weeks, because of the holidays, they will be Wednesday and Friday. 

I think it's just a matter of scheduling.

They called me today because of my fmla paperwork and I found out they changed my nst's just because of scheduling so that's why! The lady was really nice and told me if the receptionists have a problem with me changing all my appointments to ask to speak to her and she'll take care of it.

Can I ask a question.. I don't know if its dumb or not, but my MFM said I would start 2weekly NST's at 34weeks. When did you start? Is there a particular reason besides GD to start earlier. they did say it The test would be mon and thurs, but im not sure of anything else. I'm 31 weeks I have a growth scan next week Friday and an MFM on Thursday. I'm just curious I saw the post

I haven't started yet, I start at 32 weeks (which is the first week in January).  I was already semi high risk because my daughter was born early, but my quad screen came back with elevated afp levels but u/s showed no evidence of spina bifida, so I am on a high risk protocol for "unexplained elevated afp" which could mean placenta problems, etc.

I had a growth u/s at 24 weeks, 28 weeks, will have one at 32 and 36 etc.  I start the NST's at 32 weeks where I have them twice a week, along with a BPP(which is an u/s) before my NST once a week (also starting at 32 w).

Thanks for the response. Good Luck! They mention these things so fast and I'm a Ftm so sometimes I don't get everything. I was afraid I was starting them late. If the time change is to inconvenient I would call them and see if they could reschedule.

Thank you, good luck to you as well!  I know every OB is different, and I know a lot of people have these NSTs due to GD but maybe mine start earlier because it's not the same protocol?
