Hi,
Thought I would post a question cause I have no idea. I went to the midwife today and the babys pulse is high, mine is normal and so is my bloodpreassure. They did not have access to a ctg machine and tried all the different places for one. UNfortunately no luck and all obstetrician where too busy, now I have to go back tomorrow morning. They told me not to stress and take is easy til the mornign and now all I can do is stress. Anyone else have the same issue? What happened? Any advice woudl be great ------------- Mattias 2yo Henrik almost 1 |

Do you mean babys heartrate was high?
Im not sure as I havent had this happen to me, but I imagine if they were really worried they would have admitted you to hospital for monitering, as all hospitals where they deliver babys will have a ctg available, they ahve to. So, Id just do what they said and tey to relax and not stress too much, I know that must be so ahrd to do when you are worried **hugs** ------------- |

Yeah Elias had a really high heart rate when I was got a tummy bug, it was basically because I was dehydrated (my heart rate was fine).
They put me on a drip to up my fluids .. after that I just made sure I drank loads and loads of water! ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone! From flab to fab in under a year  http://www.femininefitness.co.nz/category/blog - LFs weight blog

They wanted to have the ctg done straight away but there where none available (I have a hospital midwife so was already there and she called around the hospital to try to find a machine)
Well, I've had a lot to drink, been really trhirsty and I feel fine. My son has a cold but there si nothign wrong with me as far as I know. I dont have a fever and I'm not even feelign slightly off colour. I hope a nights rest will lower the pulse and that they will tell me that it was a false alarm ------------- Mattias 2yo Henrik almost 1 |

Glad everything was ok with bubz SofiaJ, just thought I'd point out my little story do do with this.
2 days before due date went to see midwife, using doppler to hear babies heart rate, she said I think we will put you on CTG, once hooked up bubz heart rate was going from low at 50 all the way up to 200 in a matter of 10 sec. Long story short, all midwives freaked out and told me I had to get to hospital right away. Got there more CTG and a scan to check fluid etc. and all fine just an extremely hyper baby (and how true that is even now). -------------
