what is stress test for pregnancy

Non stress tests are typically performed after 28 weeks of pregnancy. The most common time a non stress test is ordered is when a woman goes past her due date. There are no risks or possible side effects associated with a non stress test. Some women are advised to under go non stress tests for reasons other than post term. These reasons include: high risk pregnancies, history of complications in the third trimester and diabetes. Non stress tests can be performed right in the doctor’s office.

What reason would a doctor have to request a stress test on a pregnant woman on her due date, when she has no other pregnancy related (or any other) problems? She was just in for a scheduled appointment, and the doctor requested a stress test.

In a low risk pregnancy a non stress test or stress test would only be warranted if their was a concern. However diabetics (both gestational and non) have a higher rate of stillborn babies (still rare, but better to be safe) so its common practice to keep a closer eye as the pregnancy nears the end.

Is this a period, is it implantation bleeding, midcycle bleeding, breakthrough bleeding, or is this just stress? I did test for pregnancy, but the test was negative. Was it too soon to test. Should I try another this week? I am 25, I am married. I do work full time. But I don't think things are so stressful that they would alter my periods. I have noticed some slight cramping that comes and goes. It's stopped now though. It was a light cramping.

m wondering if I should have one done at all. Has anyone had a stress test? If so what did the results reveal?

I have read some articles and they all said that the prenatals does not cause your periods to be late. I took a home pregnancy test on 2nd of Oct and it came up negative (I used first response). I have also taken a blood test, and that came up negative. I have been feeling pain here and there in my lower abdomin (not like period cramps). Even if this is an ectopic pregnancy, would it not still show up positive?

It is possible that you are not far enough along in the pregnancy for the test to register it. When were you last sexually active? What are your diet and stress level like? I have seen a number of cases where an eating disorder and stress can cause more severe cramping, missed periods, moodiness and severe breast tenderness. Both insufficient nutrient intake and stress causes a lot of abnormal hormone fluctuations.

What is the difference between a Thallium Stress Test and a Nuclear Stress Test and which one is better ?

I got a call from the specialist ive been seeing for my high risk pregnancy saying that my other doctor scheduled a none stress test for me for tomorrow Im a little scared what might happen cause you usually get those atleast 3-4 weeks before your due date I still have 7 weeks. Since the beginning of this pregnancy I had a feeling that this baby was going to come early but not this early I will see what happens I might end up having a may or early june baby.

The best thing for you to do is to go to a doc and have a blood test done! Good luck. You can always take another hpt in a week if you don't start! Good luck!

THe no period for 2 months could also be pregnancy, though less likely if you had negative urine pregnancy tests. The blood pregnancy test is more sensitive, and you might consider getting a blood test. Other things that could cause skipped periods include obesity, which can cause hormone imbalances that can affect your periods (sometimes called polkycystic ovary disease), thyroid problems, sometimes also severe stress.

Idk I'm just nervous but I know for a fact my doctor wouldn't want to risk anything and tell them to keep. Because he's done it with my mom.

Ok...so I was having all the signs of pregnancy so I took a test, actually I took three and they all came our negative. So I gave up on being pregnant and queued for my pperiod and the night before last I got some light pink blood mixed with a clear fluid and I thought that was the beginning of my period but then it stopped so I thought it was spotting and I took a inception test and that was negative.

The non stress test is where they hook u up to the fetal monitors that go on ur belly to keep track of the bbys heartbeat movement n contractions if ur having any just to make sure bbys good n they usually do the strep b test around 36 37wks when they check to see if ur dilating n stuff (depends on when ur dr starts doin that)

I did not vote as well because that is just a random guess and the only way you are going to know for sure is by taking a pregnancy test, either at home or at your doctor's office. Also, if someone is nasty towards you, don't escalate the situation by being nasty back to them, just ignore that and keep calm.
