Final answer:

A false negative result in the OB Non-Stress Test indicates that there are no signs of stress on the baby.

Step-by-step explanation:

A false negative is a negative result to a test for an infection or condition when the infection or condition is actually present. In the context of the OB Non-Stress Test (NST), if there are 3 consecutive negative results, it means that there are no signs of stress on the baby during the test. This is a reassuring finding and indicates that the baby is doing well.
