A BPP score of 8 indicates that the fetus is healthy and is not under any stress.

Explanation:

A BPP test refers to biophysical profile test, which is generally recommended to pregnant ladies in order to monitor the health of the fetus in their womb.

A BBP test involves ultrasonogtraphy and CTG (cardiotocpgraphy) to monitor the the movement and heart rate ofthe developing fetus.

The BPP score between 8-10 is considered normal and indicates a healthy fetal development.

A score below 8 indicates complications in fetal development or any kind of stress caused to the fetus.
