NST (Non-Stress Test) at Carenest Medical Centre
At Carenest Medical Centre, we provide safe and accurate NST (Non-Stress Test) services to monitor the well-being of your baby during pregnancy. This simple, non-invasive test helps ensure your baby is healthy, active, and receiving enough oxygen in the womb — especially during the later stages of pregnancy.
What is an NST?
An NST (Non-Stress Test) is a common prenatal test that checks your baby’s heartbeat, movements, and response to activity without using any medication or stress. It is called “non-stress” because nothing is done to put the baby under stress during the test.
The test typically lasts 20 to 40 minutes and is completely painless and safe for both mother and baby.
