Nonstress tests:

This test includes an electronic monitor that is strapped across the abdomen to record a child’s heart rate. Nonstress test takes 20-40 minutes.
Biophysical profile:
In this case, doctors use ultrasound, and the rest is the same as the Nonstress test. This test is useful when a woman has pregnancy complications such as placental irregularities, decreased amniotic fluid, and less fetal movement. Here, ultrasound measures four characteristics in a fetus such as body movements, breathing movements, muscle tone, and the amount of amniotic fluid. The biophysical profile test usually takes 30 minutes.
Ultrasound
This is very simple and usually is done to determine the fetal development and baby’s due date. Ultrasounds are also very important in detecting birth defects, multiple pregnancy, and vaginal bleeding. This test use sound waves which help in sending pictures of a fetus. A handheld device emits these sound waves which create an on-screen picture of a baby. This test usually lasts for 15 to 20 minutes.
