[quote=Anonymous]GWU MFM doc is pushing weekly non stress tests from 35 weeks on, and they want to induce at 40 weeks. I am 40 (conceived at 39), have had zero complications and have a healthy 4 year old who was a result of an uneventful pregnancy. I'm pushing back on the tests (happy to go once or twice but every week seems like complete overkill in my case -- I have a home doppler and can monitor the heart rate if needed and I'll certainly call them if any fluid starts to leak out...) Is this standard with other practices? Last time I had a long labor and insisted on no intervention except an epidural, but the pushing phase was short and everything worked out. I don't really want an induction before closer to 41 weeks if necessary. I'm just trying to get ready to advocate for myself and would love to hear others' experiences.[/quote]
