Question...NST & BPP results

Today I went in for a NST and baby A was sleeping, so they used the buzzer to wake him up.  He stayed awake for a short time but then went back to sleep.  Therefore, they ordered a BPP and he scored a 6 out of 8 because he wouldn't practice breathing.  They have ordered I come back tomorrow for another NST and BPP.  I am starting to get a little concerned because I have BPP's twice weekly and each time he doesn't practice breathing near as well as baby B does.  I feel like baby B is thriving better than baby A- she practices her breathing frequently,  she has hiccups like crazy, moves around a lot, and at last appt at 31 weeks she was 4lbs 10oz and he was 4 lbs 1oz. Baby B doesn't move near as much and rarely has the hiccups.

    I know it's hard, but if your doctor isn't worried, try not to be. It might just not be Baby's awake time when they do the tests. My Baby B would take forever to do practice breaths on the bpps but ended up being the one that could breathe room air right after birth. It is a good thing that you are being well monitored...gl!

    I'm so sorry you are worried. I agree with PP- trust your doctor. I know it is super hard, as I struggled to trust my MFM when she said I shouldn't worry. My baby b was almost always non-reactive on NSTs (he always passed the BPPs), had a prominent bowel, and was diagnosed with polyhydramnios. My baby b is now a very healthy, very funny little baby =).

    What does NST and BPP mean?  I checked the bump glossary and couldn't find it there.  Sorry for being a pain! Tongue Tied
