Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is it normal for the fetal heartbeat to slow down at 7 months of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally, a normal fetal heartbeat is between 120-160 beats per minute. The baby's heart rate should be similar to an adult's, varying between active and resting states, so each measurement may differ. During pregnancy, if the fetal development is normal, 3-4 ultrasound scans are sufficient. Around the 7th month, one ultrasound is recommended. If everything is normal, one final check-up before the due date is usually enough.
