Is it normal for fetal heartbeat to be fast and slow at times1

  The fetal heartbeat frequency is regular and fast, and the sound of fetal heartbeat can be heard continuously under ultrasound detection. However, the fetal heartbeat is also related to many other factors. For example, when the fetus changes positions, the fetal heartbeat will beat faster, and when the fetus sleeps, the fetal heartbeat will slow down. Therefore, it is normal for the fetal heartbeat to have changes in speed.

  To determine the safety of the fetus, it is not enough to rely solely on the heartbeat. It is necessary to consider the overall condition of the fetus and the physical condition of the expectant mother. If expectant mothers suspect that the fetal heartbeat is abnormal, they can go to the hospital for examination and use fetal heart rate monitoring to determine whether the fetus is safe.

  If the expectant mother has special circumstances, she can also prepare a fetal heart rate monitor at home and undergo testing at a fixed time every day, so as to timely understand the safety status of the fetus. When there are abnormalities in fetal heart rate monitoring, further examination can be conducted at the hospital to avoid the risk of fetal hypoxia.
