Tests on The Bump's Checklist?

I like to look over the checklist periodically and make sure I'm not dropping the ball on something totally important.

So in week 36, they talk about scheduling the nonstress test. And in week 37, we're supposed to schedule a biophysical profile. From the Q&A that they link, it looks like this only happens if you are high risk. Is that right? So I can just ignore these?

    I would just ignore it.  I did have a BPP done about a month ago, but only because I was having some issues. 

    For most normal, non high risk pregnancies they don't really do all that additional monitoring.

    I get the NST not because I am high risk, but because I have a gene mutation.  I think there are many reasons people get them.  Ask your dr. and see what your practice does.  The NST just checks for contractions and compares them to movement.  I also had one done when I having some painful stretching.
