Bio-physical exam
Anyone have one and know what is involved? My OB said my next appointment in 2 weeks will include this. Tonights sono was great, baby's measuring well and doc estimates at this rate he/she will be around 7 pounds at birth. How perfect!
Now I'm on the every 2 week OB appointment schedule till the end - which isn't many more weeks. Wow... I'm so not ready!
I think he said at my next appointment I get my script for Heparin. Wish me luck - 2 injections a day and I hear more of a sting than Lovenox. I'm running out of places to inject as is.

Re: Bio-physical exam
I think they probably mean a bio physical sonogram. I believe they look for 8 things during this sono - practice breathing, movement, heartbeat in a certain range, etc.

Good - so no blood work or anything. I've been feeling enough like a pin cushion.

Re: Bio-physical exam
ooh i had a few of these before i had dd - they are not bad at all..i liked it bc everytime i got a sono..they lso hooked the baby onto a monitor and everytie ifelt the baby move i had to hit a button..they came back after a certain amount of time and checked the results - if it was enough acitivity then you could leave, if not then i had to stay on a few minutes.. you will just be at the drs longer then usual so just plan for that.

Re: Bio-physical exam
It's a sonogram similar to the level II where they take measurements and look for certain things like fluid level, size, practice breathing etc.
I had three of them... My normally very active  decided to sleep through the 30 minutes at the Dr. office and they didn't see her do her practice breathing. I was sent to Winthrop and had a non stress test and another sonogram. She was wide awake and doing her breathing. My Dr wanted me to come in again the next week just to make sure everything was still ok which it was. At least I got to see her again.
