An external fetal monitor is typically placed on the mother's abdomen, specifically over the area where the fetal heartbeat can be best detected, usually near the baby's back. The monitor consists of a transducer that uses ultrasound technology to pick up the fetal heart rate and uterine contractions. It is secured in place with a belt or strap to ensure proper contact during monitoring.
Fetal hearth rate tells you how fast a fetus would warm up if you placed in in front of a fireplace.
"Fetal" refers to anything that relates to a fetus. For example, "fetal tissue" is the tissue of a fetus.
Doctors monitor the heart rate of the growing fetus to make sure there are no abnormalities and that the child is healthy.

Fetal is the medical term meaning pertaining to a fetus.
Crown-rump length (CRL) measurement is significant in pregnancy as it helps determine the gestational age of the fetus. This measurement is used to monitor fetal growth and development by comparing the CRL to established growth charts. By tracking changes in CRL over time, healthcare providers can assess the fetus's progress and ensure proper development throughout the pregnancy.
AWHONN (Association of Women's Health, Obstetrics and Neonatal Nurses) certified and trained Labor and Delivery nurses can place internal fetal monitors for the fetus and to monitor contractions. It is dependent on the need and individual state nurse practice acts and the institutional policies.
Fetal fluid plays a crucial role in the development of a fetus during pregnancy by providing protection, cushioning, and facilitating the exchange of nutrients and waste between the mother and the fetus. It also helps in the development of the fetal lungs and musculoskeletal system.
