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.
During a nonstress test a baby's heart rate is monitored to see how it responds to the baby's movements. The term nonstress refers to the fact that nothing is done to place stress on the fetus during the test. Typically, a nonstress test is recommended when it's believed that the fetus is at increased risk of death. A nonstress test may be done after 26 to 28 weeks of pregnancy. Certain nonstress test results might indicate that you and your baby need further monitoring, testing or special care.
