This is an ultrasound exam that checks a baby's wellbeing before birth by scoring several factors, such as movement, muscle tone, breathing motions, and the amount of amniotic fluid, and is done together with a heart rate monitoring strip. It's used later in pregnancy to help make sure the baby is getting enough oxygen and is doing well. The combined score helps guide decisions about ongoing monitoring or timing of delivery.
