Monitoring a pregnancy is a very common thing to do. Fetal heart rate monitoring checks your baby's heart rate and beat. This lets Dr. Arati Kotpal at Kotpal Maternity Hospital check up on your baby. She will want to check on your baby's health while you are pregnant and in labour (fetus). The baby's heart rate and other functions are checked to do this.
During late pregnancy and labour, Dr. Arati Kotpal may check the baby's heart rate. The average number of heart beats per minute for a fetus is between 110 and 160. It can be anywhere between 5 and 25 times per minute. Their heart rate may change as your baby responds to changes in their uterus. If your baby's heart rate isn't right, it could be because they aren't getting enough oxygen or other problems.
Faqs
Fetal monitoring is a method of tracking the health and well-being of a developing fetus during pregnancy. It can help detect any potential problems, such as fetal distress or low oxygen levels, which may require medical intervention. Dr. Arati Kotpal and her team at Kotpal Hospital may recommend fetal monitoring during pregnancy to ensure the health of the baby and promote a safe delivery.
There are two main types of fetal monitoring: external and internal. External monitoring involves using a device called a tocodynamometer to measure the frequency and duration of contractions and an ultrasound machine to assess the baby's heart rate. Internal monitoring involves placing a small electrode on the baby's scalp to monitor its heart rate directly. Dr. Arati Kotpal and her team at Kotpal Hospital can recommend the appropriate type of fetal monitoring based on the individual needs of the mother and baby.
Fetal monitoring is a safe and non-invasive procedure that does not pose any risk to the baby. External monitoring is painless, and internal monitoring may cause minimal discomfort during insertion of the electrode. Dr. Arati Kotpal and her team at Kotpal Hospital will ensure that the monitoring is done with utmost care and comfort for the mother and baby.
