What are fetal well-being tests?

Fetal well-being tests are like a particular check-up for your baby. They give us an overview of how your little one is feeling at that moment. They are a way to ensure that everything is going well and that your baby is as happy and healthy as it should be.

When are fetal well-being tests carried out during pregnancy?

These tests are usually done in the third trimester of pregnancy, starting from week 28. But don’t worry—your doctor will guide you and, if appropriate, let you know the best time for you and your baby.

Do fetal well-being tests require any type of anesthesia?

Most of the fetal well-being tests we offer at ONNA Medical do not require anesthesia and are designed to be as comfortable as possible for you and your baby.

However, in some specific cases, the doctor might recommend certain invasive tests that require anesthesia. We will always inform you in detail and discuss the options so you can make the best decision.

Is there any risk to the baby associated with fetal well-being tests?

Fetal well-being tests are generally safe and aim to ensure the baby’s health. However, it’s always best to discuss any concerns with your doctor.

These tests act as a sentinel guarding your baby’s health. They help us detect a variety of conditions, such as oxygen deficiency, fetal distress, umbilical cord abnormalities, and other factors that could affect your little one’s well-being.

But remember, in most cases, these tests confirm that everything is going well and that your baby is happy and healthy.

The procedure is simple and comfortable. At ONNA Medical, we perform different tests, such as ultrasounds, fetal heart rate monitoring, stress tests, and biophysical profiles, depending on the most suitable for you and your baby. Everything is designed to make you feel relaxed and secure during the process.

The duration of this procedure can vary depending on the total number of tests to be performed. Generally, each test takes between 20 and 60 minutes.

Most fetal well-being tests at ONNA Medical are non-invasive and designed to be as comfortable as possible for you and your baby.

However, in some specific cases, the doctor might recommend invasive tests. We will always inform you in detail and discuss the options so you can make the best decision.

Results are usually available quickly, often the same, or the next day. Once they are ready, we will email your attending gynecologist and you the results of your studies.
