OB Appt - want some reassurance - Alan, anyone?

Thanks so much everyone and thanks for your professional advice Alan...

GOD i love BB, i knew i would get some reassuring words.
I have been thinking within myself that everything will be fine, i need to trust in my body and my ability to grow happy & healthy babies so i am taking it all in my stride and getting on with what i normally do.

Tomorrow i will go and have the monitoring knowing that everything is going to be fine and then i am going to have a PG massage (DP's suggestion ) and relax and wait til my next appt on x-mas eve.... well aslong as she holds on that long.

I still think the 27th Dec for this bubs so hopefully she waits til after x-mas !

Ok so had the appt but really don't know much at all, think they just send the results off to the OB & MW now and i get them at the next appt which is Thursday (x-mas eve).

They told me monitoring can take 10min to an hour depending on what bubs is doing, i was only on for about 15min and the lady says all good you can go to the ultrasound now.. so i don't know if thats that bubs heart rate is all good or that the got what they needed?
There were numbers on the machine and as i watched they generally went anywhere from 180 down to 144 ???????

Then for the fluid check she really didn't say anything, took measurements, checked a chart, thought i hear her mutter 'normal' and then she said you can go now.
She did ask how often the OB wanted me back and i said he only told me to go once and then the MW would let me know if i needed to go back again... so not sure if this is good or bad!

I am just going to stay positive, i heard her heartbeat, she tried kicking the monitoring things off and she seems active enough again now.

hey hun, i had monitoring every day from 35 weeks till DD2 was born at 36 weeks and her heart rate sounds the same as dd2's, mine were sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes an hour, depending on whether or not bubs got excited (180bmp) if she did they made me wait till she calmed down before they'd let me go
