At Wed, 31 Jan 2001, Elizabeth wrote: A NST (non stress test) is used to evaluate the fetus. A normal fetus will produce heart rate patterns in response tofetal movement. For an NST to be reactive, there should be at least two accelerations of the baseline heart rate, atl least 15 beats above the baseline lasting at least 15 seconds. You will be asked to press a button every time you feel the baby move. To help for a reactive test, make sure you eat prior to the test. Not everyone has an NST, I never did. If a pt has complaints of decrease fetal movement or if the pt has gestational diabetes, then they will have an NST.
