When the BPP (Biophysical Profile) is 4-6 this is "worrisome" -should be repeated if gestation is < 36 weeks, and delivery is indicated if gestation is > 36 weeks.... Is it Vaginal or C-Sec???

Thanks.

BPP: 4-6

<36--->2 options

Repeat within 12-24hrs or perform a contraction stress test.

If still-->steroids--->48hrs monitored--> delivery

>36-->CS The baby needs to be delivered with minimal strain as already he is high risk
