Patient's question:
At 32 weeks, the doctor said the fetal heart rate was too fast. I switched to another hospital for fetal heart monitoring, which was 150 at 34 weeks, 158 at 36 weeks, and 160. What kind of impact will this have on the child?Doctor's answer:
Normal fetal heart rate is 140-160 beats per minute, and an increased fetal heart rate is an early sign of fetal hypoxia in the uterus. Common causes of fetal hypoxia in the uterus include incomplete placental function in the pregnant woman, preeclampsia, anemia, umbilical cord, deformities, and others. Factors such as your busy work schedule, lack of timely rest, unstable emotions, and poor diet may all have a certain impact on the normal growth and development of the fetus. If your work is overly exhausting, it is recommended that you take leave for rest. If your workload is not too heavy, it is advised that you pay attention to getting more rest and adopt a left lateral position more often, which can help increase placental blood flow and improve fetal hypoxia. Additionally, it is important to increase dietary nutrition, maintain a calm mood, and undergo regular prenatal check-ups.
