| An NST looks at the well-being
of your baby based on the relationship between the baby's heart rate and
the baby's activity. A monitor that transmits the baby's heartbeat is placed
on mom. Another monitor that detects uterine contractions is also placed
on mom. Mom then presses a button every time the baby moves. The baby's
heart rate should accelerate, by fifteen beats for at least fifteen seconds,
twice in a twenty minute period. This is called a reactive NST and is a
good sign that the baby is healthy. |
