Should i be worried? Im 33wks & 3days. I had my OB visit today and shes booked me for a BPP (biophysical profile) ultrasound. I never had one with my first and says she has no concerns but whyyyyyy??
BPP test may include a non-stress test with electronic fetal heart monitoring and a fetal ultrasound. The BPP measures your baby's heart rate, muscle tone, movement, breathing, and the amount of amniotic fluid around your baby. A BPP is commonly done in the last trimester of pregnancy. It’s completely normal and for some doctors is routine, and checks many aspects. I’ve had it done with all 3 of my kids and there was never a specific reason why, and it caught that our little guy with special needs had too much amniotic fluid rather then too little.
