Causes of high fetal heart rate monitoring

Fetal heart rate monitoring is a monitoring method that is becoming increasingly popular among pregnant women. The results it measures are more accurate than those obtained by listening to the fetal heart rate. It is also harmless to the human body and has some other benefits. However, fetal heart rate monitoring may also result in a high fetal heart rate, which is a sign of a problem with the fetus or the pregnant woman. So what is the reason for a high fetal heart rate during fetal heart monitoring?

We know that the normal fetal heart rate is between 120 and 160 beats per minute. If the fetal heart rate exceeds 160, we call it a high fetal heart rate. There are many reasons for a high fetal heart rate. Whether a high fetal heart rate is normal depends on the actual situation of the fetus. However, if the fetal heart rate is too high for a long time, parents need to pay attention and monitor it in time.

Reasons for high fetal heart rate: 1. Pregnant women are nervous: When the fetal heart rate is too high, we first need to consider whether it is because the pregnant woman is too nervous when doing the fetal heart rate detection. As the saying goes, mother and child are connected in heart. If the pregnant woman is nervous and her heartbeat speeds up, then the fetal heart rate will also be too high.

2. Recent overwork: Another reason for the high fetal heart rate is that the pregnant woman has been too tired recently. The physical health and mood of the pregnant woman during pregnancy have a huge impact on the fetus. According to relevant data, if the pregnant woman is too tired, it will also affect the normal heart rate of the fetus.

3. Hypoxia: In addition to the above reasons, a high fetal heart rate may also be caused by fetal hypoxia. There are many reasons that lead to intrauterine hypoxia in pregnant women. There are many examples of fetal heart rate being too high due to intrauterine hypoxia. Therefore, pregnant mothers should not worry too much about the need for continuous monitoring if the fetal heart rate is too high.

4. Disease factors: If the above reasons have been ruled out, then you need to consider whether the fetal heart rate is too high because of a certain disease. Generally speaking, the disease factors that cause the fetal heart rate to be too high are because the fetus suffers from congenital heart disease, etc. Therefore, when the fetal heart rate is too high and exceeds 160, it should be taken seriously.
