Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring is a medical procedure used to check the heart rate of a developing baby during pregnancy. This monitoring helps healthcare providers assess the baby's well-being and detect any potential issues. It can be done using external devices placed on the mother's abdomen or internal devices inserted into the uterus. The heart rate is typically measured in beats per minute (BPM) and can provide important information about the baby's health. A normal fetal heart rate ranges from 110 to 160 BPM. Monitoring can occur during routine check-ups or labor to ensure the baby is receiving enough oxygen and is not in distress.
