Things to know about slow fetal heart rate

The fetal heart is formed when still in the womb. So slow fetal heart rate at labor is abnormal manifestation? 

When your baby is about to be born, a slow fetal heart rate is one of the signs that your baby is in danger. So what do you need to know about this issue?

The fetal heart rate is slow

There are three basic types of reduction: premature bradycardia, delayed bradycardia, and variable bradycardia. Early delayed fetal heart rate is considered normal and not serious. A delayed and variable bradycardia is sometimes an indication that the fetus is struggling.

 

Early fetal slow heart rate

Premature bradycardia occurs when the fetal head is pinched during the last stage of labor . This can also happen when pregnant women go into labor early, resulting in premature birth or reverse birth. This causes the uterus to squeeze the fetal head because of uterine contractions. The early delay is generally not a concern.

Late fetal heart rate

The tardive rhythm begins only when the contractions have peaked or after the uterine contraction has ended. In some cases, a delayed rhythm can be an indication that the fetus is not getting enough oxygen.

A tachycardia occurs with a tachycardia and with a little variation, meaning that contractions can harm the fetus by depriving the baby of oxygen. The doctor will have to decide on an emergency cesarean section if the rhythm is delayed and other factors indicate that the pregnancy is in danger.

The fetal heart rate is slow to change

The bradycardia is often irregular, with the heart rate going up and down more abnormally than the bradycardia. The slow rate change occurs when the umbilical cord temporarily compresses during labor. The fetus needs steady blood flow through the umbilical cord to receive oxygen and other important nutrients. If the bradycardia changes repeatedly, this could be an indication of a decrease in fetal blood flow. This repetition can be very dangerous.

Doctors will rely on the imaging of the heart rate monitor to decide whether or not the variable bradycardia is the problem, or if you are nearing your due date. The doctor will cesarean the fetus if the fetus shows severe changes in the rhythm of the fetus in early labor. Variable bradycardia is perfectly normal if they occur before birth and have a fast fetal heartbeat.

Things to know

The procedure to monitor fetal heart rate is usually painless, but it may feel a bit uncomfortable. It is very low risk, so all pregnant women during labor and delivery should do it. There are many different factors, not just heart rate, that can determine a baby's well-being. So, consult your doctor if you have questions about fetal heart rate during labor.

The above useful information will hopefully help parents to have a better understanding of the condition of the fetus by measuring heart rate.
