Fetal tachycardia (fetal = baby in last 2 trimesters ++ tachy = fast + cardi = heart) is a sustained heartbeat of over 160 beats per minute in an unborn baby in the last two trimesters of the pregnancy. The heart is not filling properly, and this can cause problems. The most common treatment is to give the mother the drug digoxin. The drug will pass through the placental membrane and be delivered directly to the baby via the mother.

Does the heartbeat of the unborn baby have the same rate as the mom's?

No, the heartbeat of an unborn baby does not match the mother's heart rate. A typical fetal heart rate ranges from 120 to 160 beats per minute, which is generally faster than the average resting heart rate of an adult woman, typically around 60 to 100 beats per minute. The differences in heart rates reflect the distinct physiological needs of the mother and the developing fetus.
