Fetal Heart Rate. Baseline fetal heart rate definition average fhr rounded to 5 bpm during a 10 minute period but excludes periods of marked increased fhr variability segments of baseline that differs by more than 25 bpm must compromise at least 2 minutes out of 10 minute segment normal range is 110 160 bpm nichd always documented as. At about five weeks gestation your baby s heart begins to beat. The fetal heart rate is between 90 and 110bpm in early pregnancy 7. This theory states that if the fetal heart rate is above 140 beats per minute bpm then the baby is more likely to be a girl.
If the heart rate is below 140 bpm then the chances are that the baby will be a boy. If the baby s heartbeat is not audible for a week or more miscarriage is likely to happen. Fhr variability is represented by the variation in the fhr and it is a marker of fetal well being. At this point a normal fetal heart rate is about the same as the mother s. Fhr variability is represented by the variation in the fhr and it is a marker of fetal well being. We started with a precise definition of normality and performed a retrospective computerized analysis of electronically recorded fhr tracings.
Current international guidelines recommend for the normal fetal heart rate fhr baseline different ranges of 110 to 150 beats per minute bpm or 110 to 160 bpm.
We started with a precise definition of normality and performed a retrospective computerized analysis of electronically recorded fhr tracings. A normal fetal heart rate fhr usually ranges from 120 to 160 beats per minute bpm in the in utero period. A fetal doppler is a test that uses sound waves to check your baby s heartbeat. We started with a precise definition of normality and performed a retrospective computerized analysis of electronically recorded fhr tracings. This theory states that if the fetal heart rate is above 140 beats per minute bpm then the baby is more likely to be a girl. Fhr variability is represented by the variation in the fhr and it is a marker of fetal well being.
