Patient's question:
Too little amniotic fluid, stayed in the hospital for a week, received intravenous fluids. Before admission, the amniotic fluid was 77, and when discharged, the amniotic fluid was 4. What kind of help do you want: Is the heartbeat abnormal when the baby moves?Doctor's answer:
Generally, a normal fetal heart rate is between 110 beats per minute and 160 beats per minute. If the fetal heart rate remains outside this range for 10 minutes, it indicates an abnormal fetal heart rate. The fetal heart rate is regulated by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The monitoring graph curve formed by signal recording of instantaneous fetal heart rate changes can help understand the fetal heart rate response during fetal movement and contractions, thereby assessing whether the fetus is experiencing hypoxia in the uterus. In normal pregnancies, fetal heart monitoring is typically performed once a week starting from the 37th week of pregnancy. If complications or comorbidities are present, monitoring can begin as early as the 28th to 30th week of pregnancy. It is important to note whether the fetal heart rate rhythm is erratic, such as suddenly speeding up or slowing down. A normal fetal heart rate is 110 to 160 beats per minute. If the fetal heart rate exceeds 160 beats per minute or remains consistently below 100 beats per minute, it indicates fetal hypoxia in the uterus and requires timely treatment. The fetal heart rate is regulated by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The monitoring graph curve formed by signal recording of instantaneous fetal heart rate changes can help understand the fetal heart rate response during fetal movement and contractions, thereby assessing whether the fetus is experiencing hypoxia in the uterus.
