Common Questions and Answers about Stress test during labor

stress-test

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I heard things about it. Sometimes it can cause low birth weight or early labor. It's mostly chronic stress than cause harm towards baby. Try to relax and meditate. I was under alot of stress but it was my anxiety disorder that triggered my stress. I'm 38 weeks now and still worried about things I can't control. I guess we both need to do more relaxing.
Avatar f tn Thanks ladies. When the doctor was telling us about the test she left out the movement part only saying the heartbeat, which sent him into a tailspin of planning to take off every appt. I appreciate the insight.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn ughhhh im so ready to have my baby girl :) has anyone had to take the stress test to make sure baby was ok before they went into labor or got induced... I go on monday to get test done to make sure my baby is ok... just wanted to know what they do, and how long it takes.......
Avatar f tn So I am 37 yrs old and had to do stress test on my last appt which I was 37 weeks and failed and was hooked up to machine for almost an hour so sent me to have ultrasound and baby seemed fine but I feel as if she isnt moving as much and I know towards the end they run out of room but im nervous any ideas this is my 3rd child
Avatar f tn No. NST's are normal at this point. They just want to make sure they baby isn't having any issues. With my first I went 5 days passed due and had NSTs weekly from 38 weeks on. With #2 same thing only they didn't like what they saw the day before the due date and induced labor due to erratic fetal heart beat. She was and is totally fine and healthy though.
Avatar m tn and one other thing if there was something wrong with my heart would it have shown during the stress test?
7136384 tn?1390142888 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.
Avatar f tn I've had a non-stress test done during my pregnancy. It's really easy and a bit boring. You go in, they hook you up to this machine and monitor baby movements and their heartbeat after.
Avatar f tn I know I'm not the only pregnant girl that stresses out during pregnancy? But I wanted to know is too much stress really bad? Can your baby come out sick? Like health problems?
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar f tn 55 into the test when I passed out. In that 4:55, I had frequent pvc's; 2 PVC couplets and 1 PVC triplet and my QRS segment of PVC's narrowed substantially with exercise, widening again in recovery (180 ms to 80 ms) which I was told was a problem.
Avatar f tn Anyone know?
Avatar f tn Im 36 weeks & 1 day today . I have to go for the stress test Friday at 8:30 am , what should I expect?
Avatar f tn Is anybody else's scared of poop during labor? What can I do to prevent it?
Avatar n tn They did my group b test done and I'm positive.Should I be concern?My doctor say not to worry they only have to give antibodies during labor.For my first pregnacy this didn't happen.Im also worry that this baby is going to be bigger than my first one.Can my doctor tell how much my baby weight he says all the time that baby is the size it suppose to be.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn Had a nuclear treadmill stress test done while taking the test the whole time the nurse held me up from behind 2 hands on back because i stated i had back problems and as soon as test started she began this procere is this comman practice?
Avatar f tn ok I have had the stress test for abnormal EKG, I passed this test with flying colors but have not yet heard the results. Would this be a good thing?
Avatar n tn can a stress test reveal something that the other tests did not?
Avatar f tn My non stress test was basically getting hooked up to the same monitors the hospital has. There's a Monitor to watch frequency, duration, and intensity of contractions, and one to watch baby's heart. My baby wasn't stressed but I'm sure they'd probably induce immediately if baby is showing signs of distress, especially since your due date has passed.
