Non-Stress Test (NST): Monitoring Baby’s Well-Being
The Non-Stress Test (NST): A Quick Check for Baby’s Health
The NST is a simple, non-invasive test performed after 32 weeks of pregnancy to monitor your baby’s heart rate and movements. It ensures your baby is receiving enough oxygen and nutrients through the placenta. Safe and painless, this test offers reassurance, especially in high-risk pregnancies or when fetal movements decrease. With results available quickly, the NST is a key tool in keeping both mom and baby healthy.
