non stress test during labor

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Had anyone had a bad non stress test. I got news today that my baby girl is not moving like she should. Her heart rate us low and the Dr said I need to keep and eye on her movements. Said if they don't pick up I have to call them and see what they want to do. I'm scared for my baby girl now I want her to be happy and healthy.

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.

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.

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?

I eat b4 I go in and drink during the whole test but it doesnt help like it should. Neither do the pep-talks! Lol anyone have any ideas how I can get these appts. Over with quicker? The hrs at the hospital are killing me. Ive had biophysical profiles done and everything looks great so I know hes fine. Help....

Then u have had a non stress test

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.

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

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?

I am 40+4 today.....I'm scheuled for a non stress test at 9am....I hope my baby is born soon! I'm so anxious/excited!
