Is fetal heart rate of 140 normal?

When pregnant women go to the hospital for a check-up, if they find some abnormal phenomena, they will become very nervous. When doing fetal heart monitoring directly, the fetus will inevitably have bradycardia or tachycardia. If it is not very serious, everyone does not need to worry too much, because there are many factors that affect the fetal heart rate. If the test result is a fetal heart rate of 140, there is no need to worry at all, because this is completely within the normal range.

Is fetal heart rate of 140 normal?

A fetal heart rate of 140 beats per minute at 6 months of pregnancy is considered normal. So don't worry.

Opinions and suggestions: It is recommended to do a good job of checkup during pregnancy. You can participate in some moderate work or labor as usual during pregnancy, but you should not engage in heavy labor or high-altitude or deep-water operations. Do not do bending work, avoid hitting the abdomen, and do not lift heavy objects. Clothes should be loose and soft, and tight clothes should not be worn. Belts should not be too tight, do not bind the chest, and it is not advisable to wear high heels. During pregnancy, vaginal secretions increase, so you should take warm water baths frequently instead of taking tub baths. Wash and change your underwear frequently.

Now, based on the biparietal diameter and femur length data from the B-ultrasound examination, the fetal growth and development is consistent with a 6-month pregnancy. The placenta is graded as 1, which is relatively mature in terms of gestational age. However, the grade of the placenta is not equivalent to its function, so there is no need to worry too much.

Suggestions: 1. You can take some calcium and iron supplements to meet the growth and development needs of the fetus.

Generally, the normal fetal heart rate is 120-160 beats per minute, which is a bit slow. Generally, the most common reason for a vaginal fetal heart rate that is too fast or too slow is fetal hypoxia.

Suggestions: It is recommended to inhale oxygen for 30 minutes every day and check the fetal heart rate again after a few days.

The fetal heart rate has nothing to do with whether the baby is a boy or a girl. As early as more than 20 years ago, foreign researchers had thought about and studied this issue. In the two papers "Use of fetal heart rate, other perinatal and maternal factors as predictors of sex" and "Sonographic Correlation of Fetal Heart Rate and Gender", it was clearly denied that fetal heart rate can be used as an indicator to determine the gender of the baby.

The fetal heart is the first organ to develop function during the development of the entire body. Fetal heart sounds can directly reflect the condition of the fetus. Three or four weeks into pregnancy, the fetus' heart begins beating. It was slow at first, only sixty or seventy times a minute. The heartbeat at this time is very weak, and during B-ultrasound examination, the fetal heartbeat can be displayed on the ultrasound screen.

After 8 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal heart rate can reach about 180 beats per minute. After 14 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal heart rate drops to about 140 beats per minute, and then remains between 110 and 160 beats per minute. In addition to listening to the fetal heart rate directly with a stethoscope, doctors can also use a Doppler fetal heart rate detector to measure the fetal heart rate.

At the beginning, you can't hear it with an ordinary stethoscope because the baby is too small. You can use a Doppler stethoscope to listen, or listen to the fetal heart rate under the guidance of a professional. The normal fetal heart rate is 110 to 160 beats per minute. A heart rate that is too fast, too slow, or irregular indicates that the fetus may be suffering from intrauterine hypoxia or asphyxia, and timely medical attention is required.
