Stress testing

What is it anyway? I never knew until my second baby. Basically it is a test that will drive a pregnant women crazy, but it is needed a the same time. You would think you would get to relax when they put you in this nice soft chair; well you have to press a button every time you feel the baby move for about thirty minutes. If the baby doesn't move enough they think he is under stress and make you get an ultrasound right away and if they don't have an opening to see you, than off to the hospital you go. Most of the time the baby is safe, but it is always better to get things checked out to make sure. Trust your doctors when you have a high risk pregnancy, you don't want to do anything that will harm your baby, sometimes you will feel they are over doing it, but they know what can happen if they under do things, so trust them and do as they say.
