indicators of fetal well being / fetal assessment

Fetal activity and well-being must also be checked throughout the pregnancy on a regular basis.

Fetal heart tones will be checked at every visit

If fetal concerns are identified at any time, other indicators will be performed. They may include:

  • Fetal movement counting; 6 per 2 hours

  • Non Stress test

  • Biophysical profile using ultrasound: fetal breathing movements,

    gross body movements, fetal tone, amniotic fluid volume, fetal heart

    reactivity

  • Uterine or umbilical artery Doppler: identify flow volume, resistance

    to flow

  • Contraction stress test

32

Ongoing assessment

Monitoring of pregnancy health involves: o U/S as recommended, \n o Glucose Tolerance Test, \n o Group B Strep (later in pregnancy)

Amniocentesis

During amniocentesis, an ultrasound wand (transducer) is used to show a baby's position in the uterus on a monitor. A sample of amniotic fluid, which contains fetal cells and chemicals produced by the baby, is then taken for testing.
