The CTG test, or cardiotocography, is one of the key examinations performed during the third trimester of pregnancy. It allows monitoring of the baby’s heart rate and uterine contractions, providing valuable information about the baby’s well-being.

At Pozmedica Clinic in Poznań, we place special emphasis on the safety and comfort of expectant mothers. Therefore, the CTG examination is carried out with the utmost care under the supervision of experienced medical staff. Cardiotocography is a non-invasive and completely safe procedure — both for the mother and the baby.

During the test, the mother lies comfortably on a medical couch while special sensor belts are placed around her abdomen. The CTG recording usually lasts about 20–30 minutes, and the results are available immediately after the test. This allows the doctor to assess in real time whether the fetus is developing properly and whether there are any concerning signs.

Course of the CTG examination

The CTG consists of two parts: tocography, which monitors uterine contractions, and cardiography, which records the baby’s heart rate continuously. The test also captures fetal movements, enabling an even more comprehensive assessment of the baby’s condition.

The entire procedure takes place in a calm, comfortable environment — the expectant mother can rest throughout, while the medical staff ensures everything runs smoothly.

When is the CTG test performed?

The CTG test is most commonly performed after the 32nd week of pregnancy, although it may be recommended earlier in certain cases — for example, in cases of premature uterine contractions, low estimated fetal weight, or reduced fetal activity. The attending physician decides on the need for the test, but it is also possible to undergo CTG without a referral, at the expectant mother’s request.
Regular fetal monitoring during the last weeks of pregnancy is not only a medical standard but also an important step in ensuring the safety of both mother and child.
