Patient's question:
Last week, I had my first fetal heart monitoring. The baseline was too high, and after a few times, I was hospitalized. During my hospital stay, I had fetal heart monitoring for over an hour each day. Now I've been discharged and need to go to the hospital every other day for fetal heart monitoring. Can fetal heart monitoring be done every day?Doctor's answer:
According to the question you raised, under normal circumstances, fetal heart monitoring is not necessary to be done every day. As long as the baby's fetal movement is normal and there are no symptoms of hypoxia, you can do fetal heart monitoring once every week or so. It is recommended that, considering your specific condition, you should follow the doctor's advice for fetal heart monitoring for the time being. It will not affect the child, so do not worry too much. You can wait for fetal movement or after oxygen therapy for follow-up.
