A member asked:
Does fever affect heart beat of 8week fetus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fetal heart beat: Early in gestation the fetal heart rate is predominately under the control of the sympathetic nervous system and arterial chemoreceptors. Maternal fever could stimulate sympathetic nervous system, which could increase fetal heart rate.
