having contractions during non stress test

t any protein in my urine, but they want to watch for it. My doctor is having me do the non stress test Sunday. What should I expect?

Stress test or non-stress test? During a NST they just hook you up to a monitor to keep track of baby's movements and heart rate. During a stress test they actually stimulate contractions and monitor baby's response to those contractions.

Yea, it's a nst, non stress test. They are used to measure baby's heartbeat and reaction (they want to see a base line and then baby's heartrate spike up and come back down). You lay on a bed with 2 sensors on you. Very relaxing to listen to babies heartbeat actually. They are common for anyone with any type of complication, like high blood pressure, diabetes, being obese, having more than 1 baby, and the list goes on.

I am 40 + 2 as of today. I have a non stress test in the morning and was wondering what exactly do they do and how long does it usually take?

Anyone know?

A stress test or a non stress test? Because they are different a non stress test is just a monitor that they put on you to measure the babies movements. A stress test actually induced contractions and is used to see how baby reacts, like if there is movement or if there is a drop in heart rate.

My due date was yesterday and im scheduled for an ultrasound and a non stress test tomorrow then induction thursday. But whats a non stress test and whats the purpose?

A non stress test is just monitoring the baby's heart beat, movement, and your contractions (if any) for 20-60min, usually. Just making sure things are relatively normal, like the heart beat being steady and consistent, etc. I ate ice and played on my phone. Though a woman had her baby that hour while I was there..kind of awesome!

Just wondering when do they usually do the non stress test I dnt remember how far along I was when I got it with my 1st

I have them because my baby has single umbilical artery. It's 2 belts that monitor if I'm having contractions and then my baby's heartbeat and movements.

Then u have had a non stress test

Whats a non stress test? I have to go to one every week until he is here. What exactly is it?

Has anyone else gotten a non stress test done a 39weeks..

My doctor has ordered a non stress test for me if I go over my due date. I think they just want to make sure that the baby is doing well because the placenta starts to age at the end of pregnancy so they monitor the baby's heart rate for a bit to make sure the baby is getting enough nutrients and oxygen, I think it's routine.

A non-stress test is just where they hook you up to a fetal monitor and watch the baby's movements and heart rate for 30min to an hour. Nothing to it. I had to do one but it was because my blood pressure was elevated and had protein in my urine.

Had a non -stress test today. Ultrasound part was ok but the heart rate was not increasing as much as it shd when baby moved. Baby seemed to have been sleeping for the grand total of almost 3 hrs I spend at the l & d. They palpitated belly, got juice to drink trying to coax baby to move. We finally barely made it so we are going back tomorrow again to be checked - at least the placenta is not aged as yet.

Hello All, I had my 30 week office visit today. Everything looked real good and the doctor is really pleased with how the pregnancy is progressing. She did state that she wants me to have a non-stress test for the baby in two weeks and then again 2 weeks after that. She said it's just a precaution b/c of my age (39) and my history of m/c's (3 of them). Has anybody else had the non-stress tests done??

non stress test is when they lay you on an exam table and strap on fetal monitures to the belly to moniture the baby's activity. i started mine at around 24 weeks. it usually took me 10-20 minutes but my 2 were super active and they got all the information they needed in that time. the tech told me some women were there for as long as 2-3 hours. so it all depends on your little bun and how active s/he is. if you have a good tech it's not so bad.

She gets sweating wlile walking app 200m distence for last 5-6 years. so her stress test was done. baseline ECG is normal. On Bruce protocol she could walk for upto 2 min on treadmill. There were no ECG changes during test, but during recovery phase she developed ST depression with T inversion in II, III, AVF , I, aVL and V2 to V6 for 10 min. She was not having chest pain at that time. She is undergoing Cor angio shortly. What is the probability that she can have Triple vessel disease?

ve heard of playing with your nipples to bring on labor supposedly but not for the non-stress test. =) I have to start going when I hit 32 weeks but basically what it is they put a belt around your waist to monitor the baby's heart rate and you have to sit there for like 1/2 an hour. I had it done with my son and it's not bad just kinda boring sitting there.

At my 36 week ultrasound on Friday, the doctor noted a slight increase in amniotic fluid. They scheduled me for a non stress test this Tuesday and another ultrasound the next two Fridays. Should I be concerned?

Does everyone have to have a non stress test? I am 34 weeks now and I have to do one next week.

Nope non stress test are easy. They just want to monitor your baby more closely! They usually put you on a monitor and listen to baby's heart beat while you relax in a recliner! You will be fine and so will baby.
