The most exciting moment for women after pregnancy is probably when they hear their fetal heart rate, but it can only be heard with the help of instruments when going to the hospital for prenatal check ups. Every baby's position is different, and the position of the fetal heart will also vary. So, what is the position of the fetal heart at 15 weeks of pregnancy?
If a mother buys a fetal heart rate monitor and wants to hear the fetal heart rate, she can pay attention to observing the doctor listening to the position of the fetal heart rate during the examination. As the fetus can move, the position of the fetal heart rate also changes. At 15 weeks, the baby can be searched below the belly button and on both sides of the midline of the abdomen. When it is less than 5 months old, the position is generally similar. When the fetus develops to 6-8 months old, it will move up as the fetus grows.
The fetus is punched and kicked inside the belly, so the position of the fetal heart is opposite to the position of fetal movement. The left side of the fetus moves frequently, and the fetal heart is usually on the right side. In late pregnancy, as the baby has already fully developed, the position of the fetal heart will be relatively fixed. If the baby is in a breech position, the doctor will instruct the pregnant woman to undergo additional testing, as presenting a breech position can easily lead to premature rupture of membranes or complications.
Late pregnancy requires fetal heart rate monitoring of the fetus, with a normal value of 120-160 beats per minute. If it remains above 160 or below 120, it may be due to hypoxia and requires timely oxygen therapy. If oxygen therapy cannot alleviate this condition, immediate cesarean section surgery is needed, otherwise it will endanger the baby's life.
