Many pregnant mothers attach great importance to their fetuses and regularly undergo examinations to see if their fetuses are normal. The examination of fetal heart rate is a necessary examination item. Some fetuses have very low heart rates, which makes mothers particularly worried. Is a fetal heart rate of only 70 severe?
Firstly, a fetal heart rate between 120 and 160 beats per minute is normal. If it is not within this range, it indicates that the fetal development is problematic. Pregnant women must pay attention and never underestimate this phenomenon. Fetal heart rate can predict whether the fetus in the mother's body is safe. If the fetal heart rate is abnormal, further monitoring and re examination are necessary.
Secondly, if the fetal heart rate is very low, it indicates that the fetus is likely experiencing hypoxia in the mother's body. Some pregnant women experience slow fetal heart rate due to the absorption of certain medications by the fetus through the placenta. Regardless of the reason, if the fetal heartbeat slows down, it must be taken seriously.
Finally, if the fetus experiences a low heart rate, it can affect its development and, in severe cases, lead to stillbirth. So if it is discovered during prenatal examination, it must be checked in a regular hospital and taken seriously under the guidance of a doctor, so as to restore the health of the fetus.
