Women should pay attention to monitoring fetal heart rate during pregnancy, so that they can take timely measures when abnormalities are detected. Some fetuses may experience abnormal fetal heart rate, which not only poses a danger to the fetus, but may also affect the delivery mode of pregnant women. So, can abnormal fetal heart rate be delivered naturally?
Pregnant women should decide whether to have a vaginal delivery or a cesarean section based on the condition of both the mother and the fetus. If abnormal fetal heart rate is detected during previous fetal heart rate monitoring, it does not necessarily mean that delivery cannot be made smoothly. This also depends on the condition of the pregnant woman at the time of delivery. So, when there is an abnormality in the fetal heart rate, there is also a chance of vaginal delivery. However, during labor, if the fetal heart rate is abnormal due to intrauterine hypoxia, a cesarean section should be performed immediately, which is not possible for vaginal delivery.
To determine if there is any abnormality in fetal heart rate, it is necessary to use fetal heart rate monitoring, which uses ultrasound to monitor the fetus and will not affect the baby. Doctors will understand the changes in fetal heart rate during fetal movement and contractions based on the curve of the monitoring graph, and use this to determine whether there are any abnormal conditions in the fetal heart rate.
If a pregnant woman experiences abnormal fetal heart rate during prenatal examination, the doctor will decide whether to have a vaginal delivery based on the cause and severity. If the situation is severe, the doctor usually recommends a cesarean section.
