I went to triage again today because after my nap this morning, I was doing kick counts and didn't feel her move at all. I tried all the tricks, including a shower. Nothing.
B was at work, so after I spoke with the doctor's office, I called our friend to see if she could drop me off at the hospital. She stayed with me until B arrived.
They did an NST (where Nuggette was asleep for 36 minutes, therefore did not pass until the very end), and then did a biophysical. This was my first biophysical and she passed that within the first 10 minutes. She had movement and practice breathing. My fluid levels were right in range and the CNM estimated that she is about 7 lbs 13 oz. Then came the cervical check and everything is still the same, including my posterior cervix, which makes these checks quite delightful < / sarcasm >.
After about 2 hours, we were on our way home. For a minute they considered keeping me and starting the induction early, but doc said to send me home. We will be back in 2 days on Sunday night.

Thinking about you lots and hoping that things start to move.
Your "click here for the answer" post was hilarious :)
Ok that is a good sign, usually baby gets super still because they are resting up right before birth. You could be heading back in there within 24 hrs!
Same thing happened to me with my first.....damn I was scared....I was told have you ever heard the comment calm before the storm? this happened on a Friday and my daughter was born on Monday....so your little one is resting for the big event!
Glad to hear everything is okay!
two days to go!
