At how many months does a pregnant woman have a fetal heartbeat?

The most important thing during pregnancy is to pay attention to the health of the fetus. Listening to the fetal heart rate is the simplest and most direct way. If the fetal heart rate is normal, it means that the fetus is developing well and is healthy. If the fetal heart rate stops beating, it means that the fetus is suffocating or in danger of life. In this case, you need to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible. So how many months does a pregnant woman have a fetal heart rate?

The fetal heart rate is the heartbeat of the fetus. After pregnancy, the gestational sac, fetal bud and fetal heart rate will grow in a certain period of time. This is also a way to detect the healthy development of the fetus. If the menstruation is regular, generally speaking, the fetal heartbeat will appear after 50 days of pregnancy. If the conception time is delayed, the time of the fetal heartbeat will also be delayed. Don't worry too much, it will generally not exceed 60 days at the latest.

Generally, the fetal heartbeat can be heard in the abdomen with a normal stethoscope between 17 and 20 weeks. The fetal heart rate is 120-160 beats/minute, sometimes even faster and less regular. It becomes more regular towards the end of pregnancy. Sometimes there may be a brief pause in the heartbeat, or the heart rate may reach 180 beats per minute, which is normal. However, if this phenomenon occurs frequently or for a long time, you should seek medical attention in time. If there is no fetal heartbeat after 60 days, it can generally be determined that the fetus has stopped growing. The reasons for fetal growth stop are nothing more than the following situations:

(1) Embryonic (or fetal) factors: abnormal embryonic development and placental abnormalities.

(2) Maternal factors: acute infectious diseases, severe anemia or heart failure leading to fetal hypoxia and death, endocrine disorders, uterine hypoplasia, relaxation of the internal cervix, strong mental stimulation, trauma or sexual intercourse.

(3) External factors: toxic substances, other radioactive substances, etc.

(4) Immune factors: Immune incompatibility between mother and child

(5) Maternal and fetal blood type incompatibility: ABO blood type or RH blood type incompatibility.

After the hospital confirms fetal growth retardation and finds out the cause of the absence of fetal heartbeat during pregnancy, an abortion should be performed under the correct guidance of a doctor. If necessary, a uterine curettage can be performed, because this can ensure that there is no residue in the uterus and is good for the recovery of the body. Of course, it is best to supplement nutrition appropriately after natural discharge and pay attention to recuperation, otherwise it will leave sequelae and you have to be careful when you get pregnant again. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within two months of pregnancy.

After the above introduction, everyone has a general understanding of how many months the fetal heart rate of pregnant women is. Regular prenatal check-ups are needed throughout the pregnancy. It is very important to observe the development of the fetus at any time. The health status of the fetus can be judged according to its development at different stages of pregnancy, so that you can wait for the arrival of delivery with confidence.
