The breeds used in developing a specific cur dog type were dependent on the needs of a farmer as well as the climate and terrain. Individual dogs were bred based on working and hunting performance regardless of their breed.
Non-Stress Test in Pregnancy A non-stress test (NST) checks the health of your baby by looking at your babyâs heartbeat and movement during pregnancy. The test may be used when: â¢ Your baby is not moving as much as usual. â¢ You are near the end of pregnancy or past your due date. â¢ Your pregnancy is high risk. About the Test NST is often given after 28 weeks of pregnancy when your baby is able to respond to the test. â¢ For a high risk pregnancy, the test may be given before 28 weeks. â¢ If admitted to the hospital during your pregnancy, the test may be given 1 to 2 times a day to check the health of your baby.
There are two parts to the BPP, a Non-stress Test (NST) and an ultrasound evaluation. The NST involves attaching one belt to the motherâs abdomen to measure fetal heart rate, and another belt to measure contractions. Movement, heart rate and âreactivityâ of heart rate to movement are measured for 20-30 minutes. If the baby does not move for a time during the test, it does not mean there is a problem; the baby may be asleep. A nurse may use a small âbuzzerâ to wake the baby for the remainder of the test.
