Is fetal heart rate 162 normal?

The normal fetal heart rate is 120-160 beats per minute, so a fetal heart rate of 162 beats is only slightly fast. It may be related to emotional fluctuations. Tension, frequent fetal intrauterine activities or hypoxia may cause the fetal heart rate to increase. It is recommended that expectant mothers relax and monitor again after a while or a period of time to see if it is stable. This article introduces the normal fetal heartbeat and the range of fetal heartbeat.

What is the normal fetal heart rate?

1. The fetal heart rate is the sound of the fetus' heart beating in the uterus. It has a clear tone and regular rhythm, much like the ticking of a clock. By listening to the fetal heart rate, you can also understand whether the fetus is normal or not. The normal fetal heart rate is 120-160 beats per minute and should sound regular and without gaps.

2. The heart rate of a newborn is very fast, reaching over 130 beats/minute, and that of children under 3 years old is often over 100 beats/minute.

3. The normal fetal heart rate is 120-160 beats per minute. If the fetal heart rate is greater than 160, it means that the fetus has mild hypoxia and the mother needs oxygen to improve the fetal hypoxia. If your child's heart rate is still below 160 beats, it is recommended that you continue to take oxygen and if you are pregnant, you should go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up once a week from now until delivery. The fetal heart rate is an indicator of whether the fetus is descending. It is abnormal if it is too fast or too slow.

Fetal heartbeat range

1. Fetal heart rate is a means to predict fetal safety, so it is necessary for every pregnant woman to keep a record of the fetal heart rate. At this time, pregnant women must know the normal range of fetal heart rate; the normal fetal heart rate is 110~160 beats/minute, the average fetal heart rate before 20 weeks of pregnancy is 162 beats/minute, the average fetal heart rate between 21 and 30 weeks of pregnancy is 147 beats/minute, and the average fetal heart rate between 31 and 40 weeks of pregnancy is 139 beats/minute.

2. The loudest fetal heartbeats are usually heard on the pregnant woman's abdominal wall above the fetus's back. Due to different positions of the fetal head, the location of the loudest heartbeats is also different. It is beneficial for pregnant women to learn to count the fetal heart rate per minute. If the fetal heart rate is less than 110 beats/minute or greater than 160 beats/minute, it means that the fetal heart rate is abnormal and further review and monitoring are required.

1. Protein intake. This period is when the body stores relatively more protein, with the fetus retaining about 170g and the mother retaining about 375g. This requires that pregnant women's dietary protein supply increase by 25g compared to non-pregnant women, and they should consume more animal and soy foods.

2. Essential fatty acids. This period is the peak period for fetal brain cell proliferation. Adequate essential fatty acids such as arachidonic acid are needed to meet the needs of brain development. Eating more marine fish can help supply DHA.

3. Intake of calcium and iron. More than half of the calcium in the fetus is stored in the late pregnancy. Pregnant women should consume 1500 mg of calcium daily and supplement with an appropriate amount of vitamin D. The fetal liver stores iron at a rate of 5 mg per day during this period, reaching 300-400 mg of iron by birth. Pregnant women should consume 28 mg of iron per day, and should consume more hemoglobin-type iron from animal foods.

4. Pregnant women should regularly consume milk, fish and soy products. It is best to fry small fish or crisp them with vinegar and eat them with bones, and drink pork rib soup. Shrimp skin. . . . . .
