Hello, the requirement for fetal heart rate monitoring is at least two accelerations following fetal movements. Some pregnant women happen to experience fetal movements during the test, and typically achieve at least two accelerations within seven to eight minutes. If no fetal movement occurs temporarily, the monitoring may need to continue for 20–30 minutes. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
