Heartbeat randomly jumps on fetal monitor .why ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PACs.: Skipped beats are not uncommon in fetal heart rate monitoring; they are likely (>95%) due to benign premature atrial contractions of the fetal heart (no clinical significance). Alternatively, fetal hiccups can be at play (good prognostic sign).
