First BPP on Tuesday

[IFinTN]

Any advice? What should I expect?

Just an ultrasound

It's pretty neat though-you'll be able to watch the baby 'breathe'. It's so strange to watch their little chest go up and down!

I'm having my first one (for this baby) tomorrow along with a growth scan

They check the breathing and movement on the u/s and the baby needs a score of 8/8 to pass

Just an ultrasound. My Baby B failed nearly every NST, so we got a lot of BPPs in the end. Little stinker always passed the BPP instantly, so mine only lasted 5 minutes or so. It is a cool ultrasound since it's entire goal is to watch the baby's behavior. We got to see lots of hiccups and thumb sucking, which was really neat.

Why can I not figure out what BPP is?

Google.  DUH!      I've not  heard of this one before now.    Can't answer your questions IFinTN, but good luck with your test!
