Fetal heart rate monitoring is not unfamiliar. In the late stages of pregnancy, this examination will be conducted more frequently. At 28 weeks of pregnancy, it should be done once a week to measure the fetal heartbeat and detect any abnormalities in fetal development in a timely manner. However, does iron deficiency during pregnancy affect fetal heart rate monitoring?
Iron deficiency during pregnancy can affect fetal heart rate monitoring. If the iron deficiency is severe, it may also lead to fetal malnutrition or related diseases. When doing fetal heart rate monitoring, it is easy to have a low fetal heart rate. For pregnant women with iron deficiency, medication can be used to supplement, and animal liver and other blood nourishing foods can be eaten more in the diet to improve symptoms.
Fetal heart rate monitoring is of great significance, but it can also be influenced by many factors. Drinking strong tea and coffee can have a certain impact on the results. Therefore, pregnant women should maintain a light diet, drink less strong tea and coffee, and eat less stimulating foods. They should also maintain good sleep and avoid excessive emotional fluctuations.
When certain diseases cause fever, there may be errors in fetal heart rate monitoring. The higher the temperature of the pregnant woman, the faster the fetal heart rate. When suffering from hyperthyroidism, fetal heart monitoring may not be as accurate. If pregnant women need to take medication, they need to stop taking it before monitoring because the medication may cause abnormal fetal heart rate, leading to an increase in fetal heart rate.
