NST and BPP did you have them?

I see a lot of women on this board that are around the same amount of weeks as I am and they are starting NST's and BPP's.  I haven't heard anything from my OB or MFM about these tests.  I am now seeing the OB weekly because I'm on bedrest for high BP. I plan on asking tomorrow when I go but I would also like your experience.

Did you have NST's and BPP's? If so how many weeks were you when they started?

    Mine started at 30 weeks because of persistent preterm contractions and cervix shortening. I think they usually start them around 32 weeks though.

    Mine had been doing a BPP (Biophysical Profile) since ~ 25 weeks but never called them that really... they are looking at tone, breathing, heart rate, and fluid level via an u/s.  Each baby can earn a score of 0 or 2 in each category for a total possible score of 8.  They may have already been doing this during what you thought was a normal u/s and didn't call it a BPP specifically.

    At my appt today I had my first NST (Non-Stress Test) where they monitored how the baby responds or how reactive they are.  Again they can either earn a 0 or 2 for this test.

    In combo of the BPP and NST each baby can earn a score up to 10 total and my MFM likes for each baby to get at least an 8 out of 10.  If they are below an 8 and/or are not reactive during the NST they said they might just hook me back up to see if the baby was just sleeping... then go from there.  HTH!

    Mine are only starting now due to the PTL complications over the last week.  Normally they wouldn't start these until 32 weeks at my OBs office.

    I haven't had any yet either. My doctor is very laid back though because the twins and cervix were still looking SO great at my regular growth ultrasound last week. I think in two weeks is when I am scheduled for another ultrasound and at THAT point they are going to do a BPP and see if we want to go ahead and schedule the NST for that week as well so at that point I will be 35 and 3!

    I asked the OB today and she had to ask a nurse who said 32 weeks.  Then the receptionist had no clue how to schedule it because of it being twins.  She said she would call me when she figured it out so I went home.  Never heard from her.  Guess I will find out next week!
