Fetal distress indicates that the fetus is not well and needs immediate attention. Signs of fetal distress include:
- Abnormal Heart Rate: A heart rate that is too fast, too slow, or irregular. - Reduced Fetal Movements: A significant decrease in fetal movements may indicate distress. - Amniotic Fluid Abnormalities: Too much or too little amniotic fluid can be a sign of fetal distress.
