Fetal Heart Rate

Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) is the number of times the baby’s heart beats per minute during pregnancy. It is a crucial indicator of the baby's health and well-being, often measured during prenatal visits or labor using a Doppler device or electronic fetal monitor. A normal FHR typically ranges from 110 to 160 beats per minute. Healthcare providers monitor FHR to assess the baby's oxygen levels and detect any potential issues early, ensuring both the mother and baby remain healthy throughout pregnancy and delivery.
