Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Prenatal fetal monitoring, which can monitor the growth and health of the fetus, is very vital for pregnant women before delivery. During pregnancy, it is crucial to judge whether the fetus is abnormal, which helps obstetricians carry out early intervention to avoid fetal hypoxia and even death. At present, clinical fetal monitoring widely used fetal heart rate monitoring equipment. Fetal heart rate and uterine contraction signals obtained by fetal heart monitoring equipment are important information to evaluate fetal health status.
