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 fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could frequent fetal heartbeat have an impact on the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Normal pregnancy starts with a fetal heart monitoring every week from the 37th week of gestation. If there are complications or comorbidities, it can begin from the 28th to 30th week of pregnancy. It is important to pay attention to whether the fetal heart rhythm is suddenly fast or slow. The normal fetal heart rate is 120 to 160 beats per minute. If the fetal heart rate is above 160 beats per minute or persistently below 100 beats per minute, it indicates fetal intrapartum hypoxia and should be treated promptly.
