My midwife has referred me to the specialist team at Waitakere Hosp, my appointment is on 1 December.

Hi Alana,

Hows everything going?
NST stands for Non Stress Test, something they do in the 3rd trimester to monitor bubs it involves a scan and they check bubs heartrate for a certain amount of time there's a couple of other things they check but I can't remember:)
I bought my doppler (brand new) off trade me for $160 but I have seen them since going for less
this is a link for one of them

Take care

Thanks for that info Jacqui, very helpful. I haven't decided yet what to do about the doppler, I have plenty of time to decide I guess. I wonder if having it will make me more paranoid or not.

Things are going fine at the moment. I did a post on this board last week but it didn't show up till today, I had some internet problems.

oh well, there you go, I just replied to your other post, didn't see this here, I was worried about the doppler making me more paranoid, but it hasn't yet, I'm glad we got it.
