Intensive fetal monitoring involves closely tracking the fetus's heart rate, movements, and overall health during pregnancy, especially in high-risk situations. This can include both non-invasive methods, like ultrasound and fetal heart rate monitoring, and, occasionally, more invasive techniques.
It's typically recommended for high-risk pregnancies, which can include mothers with pre-existing health conditions, pregnancies with multiple fetuses, or when there are concerns about fetal growth or health.
Methods can include continuous electronic fetal heart monitoring, ultrasound examinations to assess fetal growth and amniotic fluid volume, and Doppler flow studies to evaluate blood flow in the placenta and fetal vessels.
It can detect signs of fetal distress, inadequate oxygen supply to the fetus, growth issues, and abnormalities in the fetal heart rate pattern, allowing for timely interventions.
Yes, non-invasive fetal monitoring is safe and poses no known risks to the fetus. Invasive techniques are used sparingly and with careful consideration of the risks and benefits.
While it can't predict all complications, effective monitoring can identify signs that may indicate potential problems, enabling early intervention to minimize risks to both the mother and baby.
The frequency depends on the specific reasons for monitoring, the gestational age, and any findings during the pregnancy. Some conditions may require weekly or more frequent monitoring.
If a concern arises during monitoring, the healthcare team will assess the situation and decide on the best course of action, which may include medical treatment, hospitalization for closer monitoring, or considering delivery if the situation warrants.
Not necessarily. While some conditions identified through monitoring may lead to a decision for a cesarean delivery for the safety of the mother and baby, many monitored pregnancies proceed with planned vaginal deliveries.
Some women may need hospitalization for continuous monitoring, especially if there are immediate concerns about fetal well-being. Others may have scheduled outpatient visits.
Your healthcare provider at Gunasheela Hospital will recommend intensive monitoring based on your medical history, current health, and any pregnancy complications.
Staying well-hydrated and wearing comfortable clothing can help. It's also beneficial to prepare any questions or concerns you may have about your pregnancy or the monitoring process.
