Had another biophysical profile this morning. Little miss gave us a little anxiety because she did not want to show us that she could breathe. We had to sit there for quite awhile until she finally took her little practice breath. She was moving and heart beating and blood flowing, but she was just not practicing her breathing for us. Finally, she did. The fellow explained that for the most part, women don't even start on biophysical profiles until they are 32 weeks pregnant (we are just one of the few that got to start at 28 weeks...) because babies don't regularly practice breathing until then. Before 32 weeks, they just do it more in intervals, so no biggie.
Honestly, these biophysical profiles are not the barrier in the pregnancy. I am not expecting to go in and fail one of these tests and deliver the same day. Maybe I am being naive, but I just don't think that will happen. They sure are an inconvenience though.
Thursday is our growth scan. That is, in my opinion, the barrier. If little miss has not grown, I do fully expect to have the baby soon (if not that same day).
All in all, a great appointment. Pray to keep this baby inside and to continue growing.
