The fetal heart rate belt should be put on by a professional nurse before the fetal heart rate monitor is performed.
The woman should be relaxed and lie flat on a recliner during the fetal heart monitor. The band has holes, similar to a wristwatch, to hold the probe in place on the abdominal wall, and then the button is placed according to the abdominal circumference.
Normally during fetal heart monitoring, the monitoring probe needs to be fixed in the strongest part of the fetal heart, which is beneficial to detect the fetal heart and fetal movement. It is important to note that during fetal heart monitoring, it is important to pay attention to the proper tightness of the fetal heart monitoring belt, to avoid too tight and compress the uterus, as well as to avoid too loose, which may affect the results of the examination.
The main purpose of fetal heart monitoring is to clarify the development of the fetus in the uterus and to determine whether there is any problem of hypoxia. Regular testing should be done in the late stages of pregnancy to understand the condition of the fetus.
