What is the normal range of fetal heart rate during pregnancy?

The normal range of fetal heart rate during pregnancy is between 110 to 160 beats per minute. This range is considered healthy and typical for a developing fetus. Monitoring the fetal heart rate is an essential part of prenatal care, as it provides crucial information about the fetal well-being and can help detect any potential complications early on.

A fetal heart rate below 110 beats per minute, or above 160 beats per minute, can indicate possible issues such as fetal distress or other complications that may require close monitoring or intervention. Therefore, understanding this normal range is vital for healthcare providers to assess fetal health during pregnancy.
