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.
Why the test is done: This test is done to see how well your baby will respond to the stress of contractions during labor. This can be done for a variety of reasons in late pregnancy, or even in early labor.
