failed nst

[stjmartin]

Is anyone else here not passed a nst? I have failed at least 3. Im 30 wks and 3days. baby is very active but not passing this test..bpps are always a perfect score.

Oh okay,  thanks.

Did you ask your doctor what the implications of this are?  Does this mean the placenta isn't delivering enough oxygen?

She doesn't accelerate her heartbeat. It stays steady or when it does increase it doesn't stay up for 30 seconds. She gets perfect scores on the bpp not the nst. They give you a bpp if you fail the nst. It checks reflexes, fluid, breathing, and heartbeat

What is it about the nonstress test that you're failing?

If she gets a perfect score,  why are they saying she's failing?

[stjmartin]

I started getting them bc of elevated bp. It's controlled with meds but while Im in the hospital they keep doing these nst tests twice a day. She's only passed one. The bpp is always quick and a perfect score. She moves all the time.

Usually bc of another diagnosis. I have gestational diabetes, diet controlled, but have to start weekly nst's on Tuesday.

How come you've had to had nst tests already?  If everything looked good and babies been active.why did they recommend the tests? Just curious I'm almost 31 weeks...
