Those of you in the PAML thread will already know this story, but I just wanted to put this out there to see what others think as I have a few lingering questions.

This morning at my 34 week checkup, the Dr was concerned about bubby's HR decelerating while he was checking with the doppler. I knew something was wrong when he put down the little 'radio' looking part of it on the bed beside me, and held my wrist to check my pulse. He'd never done this before, so I knew something was going on.

After a good 5 mins of listening and having a great deal of trouble getting bubs to be still enough to hear the hb properly, he decided to send me to the hospital for a CTG. I drove myself to the hospital STAT, and was relieved when the monitoring showed no problems whatsoever. I had no contractions, no decels.. and plenty of movement from bubby. The nurse said everything looked 'perfect' and my BP was also nice and normal.

So what was the problem this morning then? I left with no answers as to what might have caused the decels......... and am wondering if my GP was wrong? (not that I have any problem with him sending me to be checked out JUST IN CASE) I did ask the nurse if I should do anything different and she said to pay attention to movements, and if I felt worried at all (very vague instructions there) to come back for some more monitoring.
