When they started bringing up nonstress tests I declined letting them know that I couldn’t deal with the anxiety of dealing with anymore mishandled claims. They continued to push it so I did some research and saw that there was only a very small percentage of still birth occurrence in plus size women over those with a smaller bmi. In additional to that it didn’t seem like this would really prevent this horrific outcome anyhow. I’m happy with my decision because I know having to fit these tests into my schedule and dealing with paying for them would have brought a great deal of stress to my life contrary to the test’s name.
