Does graded exercise affect fetal heart rate and maternal physiological parameters in healthy active women in the third trimester of pregnancy?
Maternal exercise in the third trimester causes a transient decrease in fetal heart rate that recovers immediately upon cessation, suggesting it is not harmful to the fetus.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Transient FHR drop during maternal exercise recovers rapidly; case report leaves open need for larger confirmatory studies.
Jovanovic et al. (1985) studied this question.
