What is Biophysical Profile Scoring? It is a test performed to check her baby’s condition. It is usually done if pregnancy is overdue or it’s high risk. It is performed via ultrasound to determine the health of the fetus.

Different factors are being considered and from what I’ve experienced, these are the following:

• Fetal movement
• Fetal tone
• Fetal breathing
• Amniotic fluid

The score for each of these is either 2 or 0. I’ve read from the internet that a non-stress test is sometimes included in this test but for me, it’s just the Biophysical Profile Scoring.

Are there preparations needed for this test? As I’m talking from experience, no preparations are needed before the test, but other pregnant women I know take some sweets so that the baby is active during the test.
