My baby keeps failing her NST so they do a bpp and she passes that, so why not skip the NST and save me an hour, I don't understand

I'm surprised they haven't taken either of your babies yet. my doctor is coming back into town on Friday and he talked about inducing me then, I'll be just shy of 35 weeks then

I'm going thru something similar. My baby has a nuchal cord (cord wrapped around her neck) and she doesn't move very much. She fails all her NSTs but passes the bpp. Its very scary because they say if she doesnt move every so often I have to go to l&d. They talked about inducing me this weekend but I'll only be 35 weeks. They keep saying she's at risk of dying and being still born frim a cord accident.

Same with my daughter. She fails the nst twice a week every week and she always fails the first bpp then she passes the second. Im to the point now that its getting on my nerves. Im not sure what all this is even proving. Im 36weeks i would rather she was born now. My first was born at 35weeks so i know what to expect.

It's just weird she moves like crazy but her heart rate won't ever jump it stays the same or drops, you'd think that would be a sign it's under stress but I guess not

They do it because it's procedure but also hoping to see if she can pass it and the circumstances of why she fails whether she's stressed or just being lethargic
