Why can't you look at your phone during fetal heart monitoring?

Patient's question:

I am already two and a half months pregnant. Recently, I have been experiencing nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. During the fetal heart monitoring at the hospital, they always can't find the fetal heartbeat. Why can't they always find the fetal heartbeat during the monitoring?

Doctor's answer:

At two months into pregnancy, a ultrasound can detect fetal heartbeat. If the fetal heartbeat is not observed, the possibility of miscarriage cannot be ruled out. Therefore, check for symptoms such as abdominal pain and spotting. Nausea indicates early pregnancy symptoms. Further follow-up is recommended, and it is important to avoid stress. Avoid strenuous activities within the first three months of pregnancy and focus on maintaining the pregnancy. If fetal heart monitoring shows no response, it means there will be no acceleration of fetal heartbeat during fetal movement, indicating poor reserve function of the fetus.
