Fetal Heart
Monitoring Fetal heart monitoring is an important diagnostic tool used to assess the wellbeing of an unborn baby during pregnancy. It involves listening to and recording the baby's heart rate with specialized equipment. This information is used to help detect abnormalities in the baby's heart rate, including fetal distress and inadequate oxygen supply, allowing for the appropriate medical treatment to be provided. Fetal heart monitoring can also provide useful information on the baby's position and size. While it is mostly used during labor, it can also be used during prenatal visits. It is a safe, non-invasive procedure that can help to ensure a healthy and safe delivery for the baby and mother.
