Why do pregnant women need to breathe oxygen before they can have fetal heart monitoring?

Patient's question:

Pregnant 34 weeks, fetal heart monitoring passed, it passed while oxygen was administered. The doctor told me to oxygenate every day, morning and afternoon. I have been doing it for ten days. Today, it was still not qualified, but the monitoring after oxygen administration passed again. Do I need to oxygenate every day like this?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, in your case, if the fetus is experiencing oxygen deprivation, fetal heart monitoring can be performed one hour after oxygen supplementation. During the late stage of pregnancy, it is necessary to strengthen prenatal examinations. During pregnancy, it is important to maintain good health, ensure a balanced diet with proper nutrition, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and consume protein-rich foods. Timely completion of various examinations, regular prenatal check-ups, and prompt medical attention for any abnormal conditions are essential. If the child is experiencing varying degrees of oxygen deprivation, oxygen supplementation can be administered, and one hour later, fetal heart monitoring can be conducted at the hospital. If fetal heart monitoring is performed and there are no significant issues, it is fine.
