non stress test

I am 40 + 2 as of today. I have a non stress test in the morning and was wondering what exactly do they do and how long does it usually take?

I loved my NST test lol I got to sit in a big comfy chair with my feet up listening to my little ones heartbeat :) I ended up getting sleepy cause the chair was so comfy! I had to go for an ultrasound after because he didnt move that much during test, but he was in my ribs sleeping in his comfy spot and he's always hated monitors and tests and all that. And I was glad to see him again since I hadn't since 22 weeks and I'm now 40+6. I'm sure everything will be okay, good luck! :)

I am kinda worried im putting stress on him. My two year old has become a whinny little butt and has been driving me up the wall. Hopefully ive managed to keep calm enough for my baby. :(

It's not that bad, I've had 2 so far and the only complaint that I have is that the bed was at an uncomfortable angle lol. it's not bad at all

Well the only.good thing with nst tests is if there is any.chance of stress on your babe they can decide to induce you and get labour going. I hope for your sake that u go into labour tonight as well! Good luck mama ur time will be very soon.

Ooh i had a ton of those in my first pregnancy due to.complications. They hook yiu up to a machine to monitor babies heartbeat. You use a button and record everytime you feel baby move. They also monitor if you are having contractions and what your babe does while contracting. They can take anywhere from abouy half hour to a few hours depending if babe cooperates. I suggest drinking orange juice or something you know that willget babe moving. Hope this helps.
