When female friends are pregnant, they must pay attention to fetal movement and heart rate. They should take some time every day to count fetal movement, and regularly go to the hospital for fetal heart rate monitoring. This can timely understand the condition of the fetus and take early measures when abnormalities are detected. So, how long does it usually take to have fetal heart rate after pregnancy?
After pregnancy, the time when fetal heart rate appears in women is about 6 weeks after pregnancy. If ultrasound examination is performed at this time, fetal heart rate can mostly be detected. If there is no fetal heart rate during the examination, pregnant women do not need to be too nervous and can undergo a follow-up examination one week later.
Some women have irregular menstruation or long menstrual intervals, which may delay pregnancy and cause fetal heart rate to appear later. However, a B-ultrasound examination at 7 weeks of pregnancy can detect fetal heart rate. If there is still no fetal heart rate at this time, it is considered an abnormal situation.
When a woman is 7 weeks pregnant and the fetal heart rate has not yet appeared, it can be diagnosed as fetal arrest. At this time, it is necessary to promptly remove the stillborn fetus through abortion, because if the stillborn fetus stays in the uterus for too long, it is likely to cause uterine cavity infection and also lead to gynecological diseases in women. In addition, it is necessary to promptly identify the reasons for fetal cessation and eliminate adverse factors as soon as possible, in order to avoid the recurrence of fetal cessation during pregnancy in the future.
