RELATIONSHIP OF BASE-LINE FETAL HEART-RATE TO GESTATIONAL-AGE AND FETAL SEX AMERICAN JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY Druzin, M. L., Hutson, J. M., Edersheim, T. G. 1986; 154 (5): 1102-1103

Abstract

A study of 37 patients who underwent 365 antepartum fetal heart rate tests showed a significant difference in heart rate between 19 to 24 weeks' and 36 to 40 weeks' gestation. Baseline heart rate remained within the normal range, suggesting that an abnormal heart rate at any gestational age should prompt further fetal assessment. Baseline fetal heart rate was not significantly different between male and female fetuses.
