Test and Procedure: Non Stress Test is a test that is done in high risk women or when women come to triage in Labor and delivery. It tells us if the the baby is OK or if you need further testing or delivery. Cardiotocogram is the procedure where you are placed on the monitor and a recording of the Baby's heart rate and contractions is performed. NST requires a CTG.
