Is fetal heart monitoring very important?

Patient's question:

I am a doctor myself, but I am not an expert in obstetrics and gynecology. I went to the hospital to check, and my colleague told me that my baby's heartbeat is very steady. Now I'm a bit panicked. I want to know what to do next?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, your fetal heart monitoring baseline shows little fluctuation, which indicates that the fetus has some poor tolerance. In other words, if it encounters issues like hypoxia, its resistance will be weak. It is recommended that the pregnant woman can first wait and see. Alternatively, she can first receive oxygen and then undergo fetal heart monitoring for observation. During the monitoring period, it is important to observe at all times and communicate with the doctor. Under the guidance of the doctor, she can safely go through the pregnancy and childbirth period.
