The way of looking at the fetal heart rate monitor is related to whether or not you are in labor. Before you enter labor, you generally observe the acceleration of the fetal heart after fetal movement; when you enter labor, you generally observe the deceleration of the fetal heart after contractions. 1. Before entering labor: Fetal monitoring is performed weekly after 34 weeks of pregnancy to assess the intrauterine condition of the fetus. The purpose of looking at the fetal heart rate monitor during this period is to facilitate the judgment of the fetus in the uterus with or without potential hypoxia and other states. Generally, the acceleration of the fetal heart should be observed after fetal movement. If no acceleration of the fetal heart is observed after fetal movement, or if the duration of acceleration is short, hypoxia may be present. 2. Entering labor: The purpose of observing the fetal heart rate monitor during this period is to facilitate the determination of whether the fetus is in acute hypoxia. Generally, the fetal heart should be observed for deceleration after contractions. If the fetal heart is found to be decelerating after contractions, such as repeated late decelerations or variable decelerations, acute fetal distress may be present. It should be reminded that if the fetal heart monitor chart is not normal, it can also be reviewed again to avoid influencing the judgment due to the fetal sleep period. In addition, it is recommended that the fetal heart monitor chart be observed under the supervision of a physician.
