What is the fetal heart monitoring for pregnant women during prenatal examination? Do I have to do it?

Fetal heart monitoring is an important prenatal examination means to judge whether the fetus is in the uterus and whether it is hypoxic by continuously recording the heart rate of the fetus in the third trimester.

Fetal heart monitoring is very accurate for judging whether the fetus is hypoxic in the uterus, so it must be carried out during the normal prenatal period. Because B-ultrasound can't evaluate the condition of the fetus in the uterus, fetal heart monitoring can judge the condition of the fetus in the uterus through the changes of fetal heart base line and fetal heart rate and the relationship between fetal heart rate and uterine contraction.

Some people think that what can be heard by listening to fetal heart through amniotic fluid and stomach? In fact, it is wrong to have this idea. Obstetricians pay special attention to the results of fetal heart monitoring, because once the intrauterine environment deteriorates and the fetus lacks oxygen, the fetal heart will change at the first time, so that doctors can make judgments and respond in time.

Do fetal heart monitoring should pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Generally speaking, it is recommended that pregnant mothers start fetal monitoring after 34 weeks, and pregnant mothers with high-risk factors can start doing it after 30 weeks. It is generally not recommended to do fetal heart monitoring too high, because doing fetal heart monitoring too early sometimes leads to inaccurate results.

2. When doing fetal heart monitoring, it is generally recommended to do it when there are more fetal movements, so the result is more accurate.

In addition, it is worth noting that the result of fetal heart monitoring is easily influenced by the mood and rest state of pregnant mothers, so pregnant mothers should not be too hungry or full before examination; Don't drink caffeinated drinks; Keep a good rest and don't overwork; Maintain emotional stability.

The doctor will score according to the results of fetal heart monitoring. If the fetal heart rate score is low, pregnant mothers need not worry too much. Maybe the fetus is sleeping. The general doctor will advise you to take a walk, eat something, or talk to the baby, and then do it for about an hour. If the score is qualified after review, it is ok, but if the result is still not satisfactory, further inspection is needed.
