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.
The pregnancy stress test, as it's called by many mothers, is a test that goes by many names, including: oxytocin challenge test (OCT) and it was later renamed as the contraction stress test (CST). This is one of the many potential tests that can be done to check on the health and well-being of your baby in pregnancy.
