A member asked:
What is and what cause a slow heart rate in a fetus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several reasons: Normal fetal heart rates are 120-160bpm & as low as 110 at term. If lower, there are reasons that can be significant so an obstetrician should be able to evaluate these or make a referral to a high risk pregnancy specialist.
