Under normal circumstances, the fetal heart rate at 20 weeks of gestation in women typically ranges between 110 and 160 beats per minute (bpm). A fetal heart rate below 110 bpm is termed fetal bradycardia, while a rate exceeding 160 bpm is termed fetal tachycardia. Fetal heart rate abnormalities cannot be diagnosed based on a single measurement alone; multiple assessments are required to comprehensively determine whether an abnormality is present.
