Anyone Else Had To Get A BPP Ultrasound In Third Trimester Every Week Until Birth? That's What I…

I do cause of my high blood pressure and my son being huge

I did BPP's for a while after I was 32 weeks, and NST's once his tests became more regular we stopped doing them. I was actually getting my NST done when they sent me to the hospital to have him

I have high blood pressure as well but I don't think my son is too big. So you go every week too? @mommyof2016

How many weeks were you when you stopped doing them ? @vb95

We stopped doing BPP's probably around 35 weeks, I got NST's every week (starting after 32 weeks) until I was 37 weeks when I had him @mommapam

yes and it's mainly the blood pressure there watching

Why did you have him at 37 weeks if you don't mind me asking ? @vb95

@mommyof2016, yes I know hopefully mine stays down.

yes. to make sure she had enough fluid around her but she had an abnormality that they were watching too. that was with my first. I enjoyed seeing her every week though so with this baby not seeing her as much is weird lol

While they were monitoring me his heart rate kept dropping, they did an ultrasound and saw his cord was around his neck and he was in distress. They sent me to the hospital and were trying to wait as long as possible since I had eaten breakfast, but next thing I know the nurses are coming in my room prepping me to take us back. While I was being monitored in the hospital his heart rate kept dropping so we went back early @mommapam

Oh OK well I'm glad everything turned out OK for you ! @vb95

@michelle2220, OK thanks at least I know its more common than I thought @michelle2220

yes it's just to monitor the baby and the growth as well. doesn't mean anything bad

OK thanks. @michelle2220
