Most pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy will buy a fetal heart rate stethoscope to listen to the fetal movement at home, but they are unsure how to use the stethoscope or feel worried because the fetal heart rate is increasing or decreasing. So, is fetal heart rate 122 normal?
The range of fetal heart rate from 110 to 160 beats per minute is normal, and the fetal heart rate varies depending on the uterine environment. If the fetal heart rate is 160 beats per minute for more than ten minutes, it is called fetal tachycardia. If a pregnant woman feels that the fetal heart rate is abnormal, it may be due to abnormal fetal heart development or congenital heart disease. If a pregnant woman's heart rate is slow, it can also have an impact on the baby.
If the fetal heart rate deviates, it may be due to the pregnant woman's abnormal emotions, fever, taking certain medications, drinking strong tea, coffee, and mental excitement, which can all cause the fetal heart rate to increase. Pregnant women should maintain a relaxed mood during pregnancy, avoid emotional fluctuations, and experience great joy and great sorrow.
Pregnant women should have a balanced diet, eat less spicy and stimulating foods, and drink strong tea and coffee. Pregnant women should maintain good sleep quality and develop regular lifestyle habits. Pregnant women who find that the fetal heart rate is too slow when checking the fetal heart rate should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner.
