I have to do the nst twice a week until i deliver. I have been since 30weeks. Im high risk though and my daughter barely moves so they monitor her closely to make sure she is still doing ok.

I've had them every week since 28 weeks. I am now 37 weeks and will have them until I deliver. I am high risk. You only have them if your doctor is concerned or your high risk.

It monitors your babys heartbeats and your contractions. I get them twice a week but towards the end alot of people get them

During my pregnancy I had 3 and I wasn't high risk. They just do it to check on the baby more closely
