STILLBIRTH DIAGNOSIS |
|
|
|
When the mother notices that fetal
movement has stopped, the doctor can use several techniques to
evaluate whether the baby has died. The doctor can listen for the
fetal heartbeat with a stethoscope, use Doppler ultrasound to detect
the heartbeat, or give the mother an electronic fetal nonstress
test. In this test, the mother lies on her back with electronic
monitors attached to her abdomen. The monitors record the baby's
heart rate, movements, and contractions of the uterus. |
