A contraction stress test is a test performed during pregnancy to verify whether or not the unborn babyâs heart is strong enough to withstand labor. It uses drugs or nipple stimulation to make the uterus temporarily contract in order to replicate labor contractions.
What is a Non-Stress Test (NST)? A non-stress test or NST is the external monitoring of the baby's heart beat and uterine contraction. An NST is a painless way to check the baby's well being. A woman who has an NST will lie on a chair with two elastic belts wrapped around the middle of her belly.
