Can I be put in the hospital for monitoring of the baby's heart beat if medical needed?

Question

I know at 36.5 weeks I will be taken off of my blood thinners and I am very worried so I would want to be monitored you know!!! Just wondered if anyone had this happened before???

Answer 1

When I was pregnant my daughter's heartbeat would become too fast all of sudden so I had to go in 2-3 times a week and stay for a couple hours for observation. Some days I would have to stay all day with short breaks in between for lunch and dinner.

Answer 2

The doctor refers to this as a stress test that monitor the baby's heart rate for an hour or two every day for a week ask if you can book one. If you get really worried go into you labour and delivery unit at the hospital they can put you on a monitor there. Good Luck. Enjoy that precious baby.

Answer 3

Answer 4

you maybe can see if your doctor can give you a Non-Stress test. this is a test that watches the baby's heart rate for a time being. Ii go and get this done twice a week. I have diabetes, and this is why I go. talk to your doc with your concerns. gl.
