During pregnancy, expectant mothers need to have various tests in time, especially in the third trimester (about 36 weeks), and fetal heart rate monitoring is one of the important tests. Fetal heart rate monitoring allows you to assess the health of your fetus in the mother's body and understand the number of fetal movements and changes in heart rate. However, in practice, there are times when the monitoring results are inaccurate and need to be improved.
Fetal heart rate monitoring is a very important test during the prenatal check-up to assess the health of the fetus by monitoring the fetus's heart rate and the number of fetal movements. Normally, the baby's heart rate should be between 120 and 160 beats per minute. If the fetal heart rate is persistently below 120 beats or higher than 160 beats, it usually means that the fetal heart rate is not within the normal range. In addition, the fetal heart rate curve pattern of the fetus is also an important reference index for evaluating the fetal heart rate.
However, in practice, some problems are often encountered, resulting in inaccurate fetal heart rate monitoring results. Sometimes expectant mothers can feel fetal movements, but the monitoring results show that they are intermittent or even unable to monitor the fetal heartbeat. This may be due to a problem with the fetal heart rate monitoring belt, such as a loose strap or a faulty detector. To avoid this, it is recommended that expectant mothers consider using their own fetal heart rate monitoring belt, which can reduce the risk of technical malfunction and cross-infection.
1.Identify periods of fetal activity for monitoring: Expectant mothers can keep an eye out for and record periods of fetal activity when their babies are most active, and monitor their fetal heart rate during these times. Because the fetus is active and active, the monitoring results will be more accurate.
2.Consume high-energy foods: Before fetal heart rate monitoring, expectant mothers can consume some high-energy foods to stimulate fetal activity. Usually monitored on an empty stomach, the fetus's activity level may be reduced or even difficult to detect.
3.Use a personal cardiac heart rate monitoring belt: Although the hospital will provide a fetal heart rate monitoring belt, it is recommended that expectant mothers use a personal cardiac heart rate monitoring belt due to the possible technical malfunction and the risk of cross-infection. This ensures the accuracy of the monitoring results and the hygienic safety.
During fetal heart rate monitoring, if the results are not up to standard, that is, the fetal heart rate does not fluctuate or does not change for a long time, doctors usually recommend that the monitoring be repeated after one hour or other tests to further evaluate the health of the fetus.
In addition, pregnant mothers can also assess the safety status of the fetus in utero by daily fetal movement counting in the third trimester. It is recommended that pregnant mothers regularly monitor fetal movements and seek medical attention in time to ensure the health of the fetus.
Fetal heart rate monitoring is essential to assess fetal health, but there are some problems in practice. Based on personal opinion, I think:
1.Doctors should be more careful and meticulous when performing fetal heart rate monitoring to ensure the correct use of the fetal heart rate monitoring belt to avoid inaccurate monitoring results caused by monitoring belt problems.
2.When carrying out fetal heart rate monitoring, expectant mothers can take the initiative to communicate with the doctor, put forward their own questions and suggestions, and help the doctor better understand their own situation, so as to ensure the accuracy of fetal heart rate monitoring.
3.In addition to fetal heart rate monitoring, expectant mothers should also pay attention to daily fetal movement counting, detect abnormalities in time and seek medical treatment** to ensure the safety of the fetus.
All in all, fetal heart rate monitoring is very important around 36 weeks of pregnancy to assess the health of the fetus. However, to ensure the accuracy of the monitoring results, doctors and expectant mothers need to work together to properly monitor the fetal heart rate to ensure the health and safety of the fetus.
