A
The fetal heart rate is about double that of a healthy adult.
💡 Explanation:
It is true that fetal heart rate is faster than an adult heart rate, which ranges from 100 -140 beats per minute. Changes in the fetal heart rate, which occur with contractions, form a pattern. Baby's heart rate increases with mother's movement and with uterine contractions.
