Abstract:

The Doppler ultrasonography technique is used to determine the heart rate variability (HRV) characteristics of the fetus in obese and non-obese mothers. 64 maternal abdominal Doppler ultrasound signals were examined. These allowed us to identify 41 individuals with BMIs between 20 and 37. A significant issue for world health is obesity. Pregnancy complications such as birth defects like heart defects, neural tube defects, and other abnormalities, difficulty seeing all of the baby's organs, difficulty monitoring the baby's heart rate with the fetal heart monitor, gestational diabetes, delivery by emergency caesarian section, heavy bleeding after delivery, and an increase in blood pressure are all more likely to occur in women with high body mass indexes (BMI > 30) before or during pregnancy. The prevalence of obesity and associated disorders is on the increase worldwide. In 2010, 1 in 4 American women of childbearing age (between the ages of 18 and 44) were obese. According to the Perinatal Mortality 2006 study from Confidential Enquiries into Maternal and Child Health (CEMACH), "of the women who had a stillbirth and a recorded BMI, 26% were obese (BMI >30)". Riffat Jaleel demonstrated a substantial correlation between high pre-pregnancy BMI and a history of diabetes and hypertension in 2009. Due of its link to a poor obstetric outcome, it should be considered a high risk state. KEYWORDS: Fetal Cardiac, Sympathetic Activity
