Biophysical Profile

This complex test combines various parameters from the ultrasound exam (including fetal movements, breathing motions and amount of amniotic fluid) with the non-stress test findings to score each pregnancy.  The total score is helpful to us in evaluating the well-being of the fetus, and it helps us determine, in part, how we will manage your pregnancy.  This is a more extensive evaluation than the non-stress or contraction stress tests.
