NST – Fetal Well-Being Test (Non-Stress Test) is a safe, non-invasive procedure used to evaluate fetal health by monitoring the baby's heart rate response to its own movements. It helps confirm that the fetus is receiving adequate oxygen and is typically recommended in the third trimester, especially for high-risk pregnancies, decreased fetal movements, post-term gestation, diabetes, hypertension, or other concerns. Led by Dr. Sonalika Aggarwal, a renowned Gynecologist & Obstetrician in Delhi with extensive experience in fetal surveillance and high-risk obstetrics, expectant mothers receive precise, reassuring monitoring with clear explanations, emotional support, and timely decision-making to ensure optimal fetal and maternal outcomes.
Dr. Sonalika Aggarwal leads a dedicated team utilizing advanced cardiotocography (CTG) equipment for real-time fetal heart rate tracing and uterine activity monitoring. The NST assesses accelerations (increases in heart rate with movement), baseline rate, variability, and absence of decelerations—often completed in 20–40 minutes. A reactive NST indicates good fetal well-being and reassuring oxygenation; non-reactive results may prompt further evaluation (e.g., biophysical profile). Dr. Sonalika Aggarwal provides thorough pre-test counselling, comfortable testing environment, immediate interpretation, and compassionate guidance to alleviate anxiety while prioritizing fetal safety and appropriate follow-up care.
If the NST suggests the need for additional testing or intervention (e.g., due to non-reactivity or specific patterns), Dr. Sonalika Aggarwal discusses findings openly, explains next steps (such as repeat NST, ultrasound, or delivery planning), and collaborates with the patient. Our commitment is to deliver accurate, patient-first fetal well-being assessment with integrity and empathy—providing reassurance when results are normal and prompt, safe action when needed to support healthy pregnancies.
- For routine third-trimester monitoring or reassurance – Dr. Sonalika Aggarwal performs NST to confirm fetal heart rate reactivity and well-being, offering peace of mind in low- or moderate-risk pregnancies.
- In high-risk situations (e.g., gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, reduced fetal movements) – Dr. Sonalika Aggarwal uses frequent NSTs combined with clinical judgment to detect early signs of compromise and guide timely management.
- For post-term pregnancies or other concerns – Dr. Sonalika Aggarwal leverages her expertise in fetal surveillance to interpret NST patterns accurately, integrate with biophysical profile if needed, and provide personalized, compassionate support for optimal outcomes.

NST is commonly advised from 32–34 weeks onward, especially for high-risk conditions, reduced fetal movements, post-dates, or routine reassurance. Dr. Sonalika Aggarwal personally assesses each case to determine the right timing and frequency.
The test usually takes 20–40 minutes while you rest comfortably in a reclined position. It is completely painless and non-invasive—just two belts on your abdomen. Dr. Sonalika Aggarwal ensures your comfort throughout.
A non-reactive result does not always indicate a problem but may require further evaluation (e.g., longer monitoring, biophysical profile, or ultrasound). Dr. Sonalika Aggarwal explains findings promptly and plans next steps with you, prioritizing safety.
We provide ongoing integration under Dr. Sonalika Aggarwal's guidance—whether continuing routine NSTs, additional tests, or transitioning to delivery planning—with no long-term commitments required.
