What to do if the fetal heart rate monitor can t hear the fetal heart rate at home

If the home fetal heart rate monitor is normal and the fetal heart rate cannot be heard, the mother may listen to it again in the place where she heard it last time. It may be that when the baby moves, the fetal heartbeat is transferred to another place, so that no matter how the mother listens, she can't hear the fetal heartbeat. It should also be noted that when listening to the fetal heartbeat, you should look for it slowly, sometimes you can't find it, you have to use a little force, and this strength must be grasped well!

If the mother suddenly can't hear the fetal heartbeat, don't be nervous and anxious, first pay attention to whether the baby's fetal movement is normal, if the fetal movement is normal, there is generally no problem.

What are the reasons why you can't hear the fetal heartbeat with a fetal heart rate monitor.

Under normal circumstances, the fetal fetal heart rate is between 120 and 160 minutes, and if the fetal heart rate is too fast or too slow, it indicates that the fetus is hypoxic. So, some expectant mothers will ask, is it that we can't hear the fetal heartbeat, which proves that the baby is in danger in the womb? It is possible that your home fetal heart rate monitor is malfunctioning.

If the fetal heartbeat is not faulty and the baby's fetal heartbeat is still not heard, you should go to the hospital immediately.

If the fetus is still very young, the fetal heartbeat also changes, so you need to look carefully to find out. Some mothers use fetal heart rate during pregnancy, and they can't hear the baby's fetal heartbeat, and then go to the hospital for examination, and the baby is very good. It is recommended that if you don't know how to listen, you should not put pressure on yourself, as long as the baby is healthy.

Rediscover the fetal heartbeatThe fetal heart rate monitor does not hear the fetal heartbeat, which may be due to the wrong position of the fetal heart rate probe, not the strongest position of the fetal heartbeat. At this time, according to the law of fetal heart rate changes, the fetal heart rate can be re-found and the macro-object hand can be measured again.

Walk aroundIf the fetal heart rate cannot be heard or the monitoring is not good during fetal heart rate monitoring, the expectant mother can get up and walk around, relax and relax, eat something, or recheck after receiving oxygen.

B-ultrasound examinationIf the fetal heart rate cannot be heard after repeated examinations, it may be that the fetus has stopped developing and the fetus is dead in the womb, and B ultrasound examination should be done to confirm the diagnosis.

Check the machineIf the fetal heart rate monitor is broken or the plug contact is poor, the fetal heart rate will not be heard, so before listening to the fetal heartbeat, you must check whether the machine is normal.

After pregnancy, many parents are very concerned about the baby's every move in the womb, and some fathers like to lie on their mother's belly to listen. Now that you have a home fetal heart rate test, you can buy one and put it at home for check-up at any time. So, how often should you listen to a home fetal heart rate monitor?

Next, I'll talk about those things about home fetal heart rate devices!

Pregnant women can start using fetal heart rate equipment from 12 weeks, because the fetus has not yet moved, so it is best to use Doppler fetal heart rate equipment once a day. In the second trimester, the fetus has fetal movement, and the mother can combine fetal movement, and if the fetal movement is more regular, she can also use the fetal heart rate monitor once every two or three days.

When it comes to the third trimester, when the fetus is relatively large, pregnant women are prone to umbilical cord around the neck, exhalation distress, fetal intrauterine hypoxia and other conditions, it is best to use the fetal heart rate monitor 2-3 times a day, or use the fetal heart rate monitor at any time when you feel uncomfortable.

Home fetal heart rate monitor is generally listened to once 30 minutes after getting up in the morning, 60 minutes after lunch, and 30 minutes before going to bed at night, and each listening is 2 to 3 minutes, and the normal fetal heart rate range: 120 to 160 beats per minute. When the fetus has intrauterine distress or umbilical cord around the neck, it will threaten its growth and development, and even endanger the life safety of the mother and child.

It is recommended to pay attention to the fetal movement, combined with the self-use fetal heart rate monitor and the results of prenatal examination. If you have a problem, see your doctor.

Parents are worried about the health of the baby, but can not be deceived, pay attention to when buying a fetal heart rate monitor, you can also go to the hospital a few more times, not to mention that there is no situation, and you don't need to check every day, usually pay more attention to it, and if you are willing, you can buy a fetal heart rate monitor, and it doesn't matter how often you use the home fetal heart rate monitor, but don't buy a fake fetal heart rate monitor. It is up to the discretion of the individual hospital.

Generally speaking, the normal use of the fetal heart rate apparatus will not have an effect on the fetus, because the acoustic radiation dose of the fetal heart rate apparatus is far lower than the safety index requirements. However, it is not advisable to listen too often during pregnancy, and you can monitor the fetus when it is moving, because every time you listen to the fetal heartbeat, it will interfere with the fetus's rest.

Fetal heart rate monitor three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, 2 3 minutes each time, monitor whether the fetal heart rate is in the normal range: 120 160 times within a few minutes, you can understand the health of the fetus.

If there is a history of adverse childbirth in the past, or there are comorbidities this time, such as gestational hypertension, fetal malposition, umbilical cord around the neck, diabetes and infection, etc., the number of monitoring should be increased. If you notice abnormal fetal heart rate and fetal movement, go to the hospital immediately for examination**.

It is understood that many pregnant women find that they can't hear the fetal fetal movement and think that the fetus has problems and appear anxious, and the nervous and anxious mood will cause the fetal to be agitated, resulting in an increase in the fetal heart rate, so a vicious circle may lead to intrauterine hypoxia of the fetus, affecting the health of the fetus.
