Patient's question:
My sister-in-law has been pregnant for four months. During her two prenatal check-ups, she found that the vmax values of the umbilical artery in the test reports were different. She is quite worried, fearing it might be harmful to the fetus. I would like to ask, what is the normal value of vmax?Doctor's answer:
The normal value of Vmax is generally around 3.5. If it exceeds 4.25, it may lead to fetal hypoxia. Every time you go for prenatal check-ups, this value is different, as it changes with the growth of the fetus. During pregnancy, it's essential to maintain a good mood. After the seventh month, you should persist in counting fetal movements every day. If the fetal movements are too strong or too slow, it could be a sign of abnormal fetal development.
