Pulse Rate During Pregnancy

Obstetricians, midwives, and maternal-fetal specialists typically request a Pulse Rate During Pregnancy Chart to monitor heart rate during pregnancy. These charts help track the resting heart rate of pregnant people, identify abnormal heart rates, and ensure maternal and baby health is maintained throughout the pregnancy.

This chart is used throughout pregnancy, especially during regular prenatal checkups and fetal heart rate monitoring to ensure a normal fetal heart rate. It is critical in the third trimester, when the heart rate increases, to support the baby’s growth, helping detect any abnormal patterns that could indicate health risks.

Pregnant people record their resting heart rate daily using the chart. Healthcare providers review these records during prenatal appointments to track trends and identify any abnormal heart rate increases. This monitoring helps detect potential issues early, allowing for timely interventions to safeguard the baby's health.
