Why is there frequent premature beats in the fetus?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Please ask, what is the reason for the frequent premature beats of the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

Atrial premature beats are a common type of arrhythmia, which can be either functional or organic. If the structures of the fetal heart are developing normally, it indicates the absence of organic heart disease, making the premature beats functional. The exact cause of this phenomenon is not yet clear, but it may be related to the fetus inhaling water in the uterine cavity, or it could be associated with changes in the mother's emotions, excessive fatigue, and other factors. In most cases, this condition is not particularly serious, and the child can be delivered normally. After birth, appropriate measures can be taken based on specific circumstances to implement treatment.
