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.
A contraction stress test is usually done if you have an abnormal nonstress test or biophysical profile. A biophysical profile uses ultrasound during a nonstress test to measure a series of physical characteristics of your baby. You may have more than one contraction stress test during your pregnancy.
