Subject: No breathing movements during ultrasound (for BPP biophysical profile)
why were you getting a bpp?
There are actually very few indications for this.
Start with nst/afi...if nst is not reactive then you get a Bpp which looks more closely at overall well being.
Bpp 2 points for
Nst
Mvp >2
Breathing
Gross movement
Tone
If your nst was not reactive and a bpp shows no breathing after 30 minutes and you are greater than 36 weeks you can repeat in 6 hours or move toward delivery.
If your nst was reactive, they should not have done a bpp-not indicated.
If your nst was reactive and the bpp had points off for breathing they likely did not wait the full 30 min provide acoustic stimulation etc.
Cliff notes:
Bpp is out of 10.
If you are 36 weeks with a 6/10 repeat in 8 hours
If you are 37+ weeks deliver

My baby got a 6 and I had an over night hospital stay with a repeat in the morning. The baby showed poor muscle tone. He was fine just sleepy during the test

Just so you know, the NST is part of the BPP. The NST is checking HR and movements, the BPP looks at these and other things.

It's fine. Baby didn't fail, more like a B plus. BPPs are awesome at predicting that everything is fine, much less so at predicting something bad will happen.

from what i understand, its very common for them not to catch the breathing, and as long as you go on to pass the NST you are all good. i read somewhere that they only catch the breathing around 30% of the time, so try not to stress!! congratulations you are almost there!

I started weekly BBP/NST with my ob (i'm considered high-risk) and I'm at 36 weeks... I failed the BPP because they could detect the practice breathing movements of the baby, he was supposed to breathe for 30 seconds... they send me to a nst which I passed.... I did not get my score, but I guess it was 6/8 for the BPP or 8/10 with the NST ....
If you have gotten a similar score, what did your ob do?
OP back... they could *NOT* detect the practice breathing movements
