*Passed the nonstress test so doctor feels there's no reason to induce me just yet. Still only at 4cm and still not having consistent contractions. So basically I'm waiting this out and he either comes on his own or I'm being induced this Friday at 40+6 weeks. Fingers crossed he comes sooner bc this heat is killing me and I'm tired of being a swollen water balloon! 😭

Hey mamas, so I'm a bit on edge today. I'm currently 40+3 weeks pregnant. My due date was June 30th but babe I guess has other plans. Well since I'm over my due date I was sent to get a BPP (Bio Physical Profile) ultrasound. They essentially test for 4 things and rate you on a scale of 0-8, with anything below an 8 being a failed test. The test is only half an hour long, shorter depending on how quickly baby passes all parts of the test. Baby was tested on general movement, limb movement, heartbeat/rate, and practice breathing. I scored a 6 out of 8 because he was moving around and his heart rate was good, but he didn't show any practice breathing. He took one single breath throuaweghout the entire test, but I guess they have to continuously breathe for 30 seconds for it to be a passing score. I know he practices his breathing because he gets hiccups pretty often...but idk, getting a failed test is pretty scary because we already lost multiple pregnancies and I'm terrified of something suddenly happening and going wrong with this one. I have a non-stress test in about an hour, and I've never had one before.

I guess what I'm looking for other than ranting about my concerns is, has anyone ever failed one of these BPP tests for breathing and baby was born perfectly okay?? No issues at all? And what should I expect for a non-stress test? Like what do they do? I've never had one so I'm not sure what the procedure is, and what happens if I also fail that?? Has anyone ever failed both and still had a healthy baby? Ever fail one and pass the other and had a healthy baby?? I'm so nervous I'm going to get bad news or something....🙁
