Some time ago, a pregnant mother asked me, saying that their fetal heart rate monitoring is not qualified, the doctor directly let me be hospitalized, she did not want to live, in the group also asked a lot of pregnant mothers, said that the doctor also let the hospitalization, but most of the pregnant mothers do not want to live, and some pregnant mothers said that fetal heart monitoring is actually not much use, their own babies have been very active, so the fetal movement has been more.
Abnormal fetal heart rate monitoring will indeed make pregnant mothers feel worried, so is fetal heart rate monitoring useful in the end? What should I do if the inspection result is not qualified? Do I have to be hospitalized?
Why is fetal heart rate monitoring substandard?
Now the electronic fetal heart rate monitor commonly used in hospitals has been forty or fifty years, whether it is the product system itself is upgraded, or the technology is too good, the inaccuracy rate has exceeded 50%.
Why are hospitals still using such inaccurate data monitoring instruments?
Because no accurate assessment method has been found for the fetal situation in the womb, although the data accuracy of the fetal heart rate monitor is not high, at least there is a certain reference value. Therefore, in terms of accuracy, the occurrence of unqualified fetal heart monitoring is not necessarily a very serious situation.
This is also why some doctors are indifferent to the data of fetal heart rate monitoring, while some doctors are cautious.
In general, fetal heart rate monitoring reports are divided into three outcomes: normal NST, atypical NST, and abnormal NST.
Most pregnant mothers will show that the results of fetal heart rate monitoring will show that NST is normal; some will show atypical NST, that is, we often hear that fetal heart rate monitoring is unqualified; and abnormal NST is a rare case.
Normally, the normal heart rate of the fetus is 110-160 minutes per minute, and this value will change significantly with the activity of the fetus or the contraction of the pregnant mother's uterus.
Pregnant mothers in the fetal heart rate monitoring, if there is more than 10 minutes of continuous, fetal heart rate is not within the normal range, will be judged as abnormal heart rate, may be related to fetal hypoxia, pregnant mother emotional anxiety, body fever or thyrotoxicosis, which requires further examination and confirmation.
However, before the diagnosis of fetal abnormalities, when the pregnant mother sees that the data of fetal heart rate monitoring is unqualified, she does not need to be too nervous, and adjusts her emotions to listen to the doctor's arrangement.
When doing fetal heart rate testing, pregnant mothers should pay attention to these 3 points
Many hospitals will arrange fetal heart rate monitoring after 28 weeks of pregnancy, the purpose is to evaluate the fetus in the womb through testing, and once abnormalities are found, corresponding measures will be taken.
When doing fetal heart rate testing, pregnant mothers should pay attention to these 3 points.
Lie on your side or sit. Most of the chairs in the hospital that do fetal heart rate monitoring are inclined. After the pregnant mother lies on the monitoring chair, try to choose to tilt 15 degrees to the left side, and you can put a pillow on the back to assist, so as to avoid the situation that the placenta blood supply is insufficient due to compression of the aorta.
When doing fetal heart rate monitoring, choose when the baby is awake. Because the time for pregnant mothers to do fetal heart rate monitoring is arranged by outpatients, if the baby just happens to be sleeping, the data for monitoring at this time will also be unqualified.
Pregnant mothers can put some prenatal education music to wake up the baby, you can also gently pat the stomach; if you still can't feel the baby's fetal movement, the pregnant mother can go outside for 10 minutes, breathe fresh air, and wait for the baby to wake up and do it again.
Do not do the test on an empty stomach. The baby will also have little activity when the stomach is hungry, so before the pregnant mother does fetal heart rate monitoring, it is best to eat something or sweets, and the baby will usually start to be active.
To grasp the time law of fetal movement, it is best to count the fetal movement
Although fetal heart rate monitoring can timely find the baby's heart rate and fetal movement abnormalities, pregnant mothers cannot report to the hospital every day.
How to grasp the time of the baby's fetal movement? How to detect abnormal fetal movements in time? Being able to count the movements of the fetus on her own has become a thing that pregnant mothers must learn.
Several fetal movements need to be maintained three times a day and for a fixed period of time. When pregnant mothers count fetal movements every day, if they find that the fetal movement data is reduced or suddenly increased than usual, they must go to the hospital in time.
In general, doing fetal heart monitoring can be conducive to finding the fetus in the uterus, although there may be unqualified cases, but the pregnant mother does not need to be too nervous, the doctor will also take measures according to the situation to let you do more times, if the result is normal, do not worry, but if you do it many times still unqualified, you need to pay attention.
