Patient's question:
32+3 fetal heart monitoring, fetal movement is normal, heart amplitude is not large, the doctor asked to inhale oxygen, after inhaling oxygen, the heart rate amplitude is still not large, then do ultrasound, heart rate is normal 147, the doctor said to pay attention to count fetal movements at home. I want to ask the moms, if the heart rate amplitude is not large during fetal heart monitoring, is it a big problem?Doctor's answer:
Generally, at 15 to 20 weeks of pregnancy, the pregnant woman can feel fetal movement. By 28 to 32 weeks, it reaches its peak, and after 38 weeks, it gradually decreases. At fixed times each day—morning, noon, and evening—count the fetal movements three times, with each count lasting for one hour. Then, add the three counts together and multiply by 4. This gives the baby's fetal movement count for 12 hours. The number of fetal movements is related to the pregnant woman's spirit, emotions, medication, the amount of amniotic fluid, and other factors. If there is a significant decrease or increase in fetal movements, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
