Is It True Foetal Kicking Increases Its Heart Rate From 150 To 190 In 73ml Amniotic Fluid?
Hi Dr. Grief -
I am living in China (but an American citizen) - I am 36 weeks pregnant and went for my ultra sound/check up today. The Chinese doctor said my amniotic fluid was too low at 73mm and that the babies heart rate may need further monitoring with the resting rate at 145-150 and when he kicked it would go up to 170-190. Is this correct?
