Patient's question:
Medical history description (onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): Could you please ask about the test results of the fetal examination for a nine-month pregnant woman. NST has a response. What does this mean? Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, first of all, the fetal monitoring NST shows a response, which indicates that the baby is doing well inside the uterus and can continue the pregnancy until natural delivery. The NST is scored based on the fetal movements on the monitor, the rhythmic changes in the fetal heart rate, and the fluctuations in the fetal heart line. A response is normal. Secondly, since it is in the late stage of pregnancy, it is necessary to do one every week, even if there are contractions. It can detect whether there are contractions and the strength of the contractions, which is normal. Prepare for delivery and be ready to be a mother.
