To determine the health of the fetus, pregnant women need to undergo a series of prenatal examinations, including fetal heart rate testing. The health of the fetus in the abdomen can be determined by observing the fetal heart rate. Regarding the detection of fetal heart rate, pregnant women only need to follow the doctor's advice. So, let's take a look at whether a 12 week fetal heart rate of 164 is normal?
Fetal heart rate is the number of times a fetus's heart beats, with a correct value of 110-160 beats per minute. At 12 weeks, the fetal heart rate is slightly faster at 164. At this time, an ultrasound examination can be performed to see if there is insufficient amniotic fluid. If there is a condition of low amniotic fluid, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice to replenish amniotic fluid in a timely manner, drink more water, soup, etc.
Of course, abnormal fetal heart rate may also be caused by hypoxia. In addition to fetal hypoxia, it is also possible that the pregnant woman's own condition affects the fetus. For example, if a pregnant woman has a fever, the fetal heart rate may also reach 164. At this time, it is necessary to promptly deal with the fever in pregnant women. After the fever subsides, the fetal heart rate usually returns to normal.
In short, pregnant women need to timely understand the level of fetal heart rate and must not be careless. Usually, as long as regular prenatal check ups are done, doctors will inform pregnant women of any abnormalities in fetal heart rate and help them take effective measures. Of course, the mood of pregnant women can also affect the condition of the fetus. Pregnant women should not experience great joy or sorrow, and it is better to maintain a stable mindset.
