What is a Biophysical Profile?

A Biophysical Profile is a way for your health care professional to assess the health of your baby, near term. The biophysical profile is essentially an ultrasound whereby the doctor watches the baby's breathing, body movements, muscle tone and the amount of amniotic fluid present, in order to ensure that the baby is getting enough oxygen in the womb.The doctor will score the elements with a simple numbering system. The higher the number indicates better results.

Most doctors will also perform a non-stress test.
