Understanding the fetal Doppler display
•
The normal fetal heartrate is between 120 and 160. If the heartbeat is less than 120
or more than 160, the baby may be in danger.
•
If the heartbeat remains abnormal, turn the mother on her side, begin intravenous
fluids, start oxygen and call for assistance
•
Call a doctor or refer the mother to a hospital if the fetal heartbeat remains too fast or
too slow
•
If the heartbeat is less than 100, it may be the mother’s heartbeat. To confirm whether
you are hearing the mother, check her wrist pulse with your hand while listening to the
fetal heart rate.
•
Remember: You must see a solid black heart in the display to be receiving an
accurate heart rate reading
