Women need to undergo fetal heart rate monitoring during late to mid pregnancy or late pregnancy, mainly to check if the fetus is healthy. If the fetal heart rate monitoring is not up to standard, it may indicate that the fetus has problems and requires further examination. So, what should be done if the fetal heart rate monitoring is not up to standard?
General fetal heart rate monitoring requires continuous monitoring of fetal heart rate for 3 minutes, with at least 15 heart rate checks per minute for 15 seconds. If the fetus is asleep, it needs to be awakened before monitoring, which means fetal heart rate monitoring should be done when the fetus is more active. So if fetal heart rate monitoring is not turned off, it is possible that the baby is sleeping and can be tested several times.
Poor fetal heart rate monitoring may be a manifestation of fetal abnormalities, such as hypoxia in the uterus. If the abnormality is severe, it indicates that the hypoxia is severe, so other tests need to be performed to see if the fetus has hypoxia.
Pregnant women's own problems can also cause fetal heart rate, such as fever and cold for a period of time, or other illnesses that can affect fetal heart rate. At this time, monitoring can be done several times after the illness is cured.
Pregnant women need to constantly pay attention to the health of the fetus. For some abnormal examinations, they should do more tests to determine if there are any problems. Regardless of the type of problem, they should actively face it and cooperate with hospital treatment.
