Doc wrote CTG on my next visit slip and i forgot to ask her what it actually is. Im in my third trimester now. Is it like normal sonography or something different? Got me a little curious.
When they did the CTG scan, I felt tears in my eyes hearing that strong heartbeat. It felt so real and made me realize I was actually going to hold my baby soon.
Oh, I remember lying there listening to that fast 'dhup-dhup' sound of my baby's heart, now that baby is a wild toddler running around! It's a completely painless and reassuring test, dont worry.
My doc told me to keep doing light walks, so I would walk a bit before going for my clinic visits. This monitors the baby's heart rate and uterine activity, and doc said light movement is great if allowed.
This is just a modern machine to listen to the baby's heartbeat, beta. Keep your mind calm, drink a glass of warm milk with a little kesar before going, and trust the doctors.
I had this scan done in my 36th week. They made me lie down and I could hear my baby's heartbeat on the screen, which was a beautiful experience for me.
It's cardiotocography, they put two round sensors on your belly to track the baby's pulse and see if u have any labor pains. Done near the end of pregnancy, takes 20-30 mins, nothing to worry about.
Honestly, make sure u eat something nice and light before going so the baby is active. It's the scan where they track baby's heart, and my little one was kicking so much because I had sweet lassi before testing!
Look, it's a very standard test called cardiotocography. It checks if the baby is getting enough oxygen and if u have silent contractions, so just get it done peacefully.
Hey, dont stress too much about it! It's just a simple belt they put on your tummy to listen to the baby's heart beat. Totally painless, just sit back and relax.
