Should I be concerned about the contractions and drop in the baby's heart rate at 36 weeks of pregnancy?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It would be better if you send your obstetrics, gynecology, and medical history.

1. Do a strict check on contractions (frequency and duration) and similarly on fetal movements, as reduced fetal movements need emergency evaluation and investigations and any vaginal discharge (rupture of membranes).

2. Have one electronic fetal monitoring graph with tocodynamometer (pressure-sensitive contraction transducer) to have a detailed evaluation of contractions and fetal heart activity and better to be checked by a gynecology specialist.

3. Take detailed examination per speculum (a device that examines hollow openings in your body), HVS (high vaginal swab), and litmus test for excluding ruptured membranes.

I hope I have cleared all your doubts.

Thank you.
