What Does FHR Stand For?

FHR stands for Foetal Heart Rate

FHR, or Foetal Heart Rate, refers to the number of heartbeats per minute of a fetus. It is a critical parameter monitored during pregnancy and labor to assess the health and well-being of the fetus. Normal fetal heart rate ranges from 110 to 160 beats per minute, and any significant deviations may indicate potential complications, prompting further evaluation and intervention. Monitoring FHR is essential for ensuring safe delivery and optimal outcomes for both the mother and the baby.
