Fetal Monitoring

Fetal monitoring is a technique used to evaluate the health and well-being of a baby during pregnancy. It involves using various methods, such as ultrasound scans and electronic fetal heart rate monitoring, to monitor the baby's vital signs, like heart rate and breathing. The information collected is evaluated by a doctor or midwife to assess the baby's development and progress and to ensure they are healthy throughout the pregnancy. Though not all pregnancies require fetal monitoring, it is an important technique used to detect and manage potential complications such as preterm labor or fetal distress. Fetal monitoring can help to identify potential issues in the early stages of pregnancy, allowing for timely treatments and better outcomes for both mother and baby.
