High blood pressure during pregnancy is very dangerous and should be checked at almost every prenatal checkup. Down screening is very helpful in ensuring the quality of the baby after birth, so every test during pregnancy has practical significance.

In addition, the fetal heartbeat during pregnancy will be adjusted and affected by the central nervous system. According to the data signals, a curve of the fetal heart rate changes can be recorded, so as to understand the fetal movement and determine whether the fetus is suffering from intrauterine hypoxia. The fetus at this time is also very sensitive to sounds, and has a certain learning and memory. At this time, appropriate prenatal education and stimulation of the baby will have an impact on the baby's future behavior and pronunciation.
