No accelerations or less than two accelerations of fetal heart rate in 30 minutes
Breathing
30 seconds of sustained fetal breathing during a 30 minute period of observation. (Hiccups are included as breathing activity) ...
Rapid acceleration, deceleration, or a direct blow to the pregnant abdomen can cause shearing of the placenta away from its' underlying attachment to the uterus.
Acceleration/ejection time ratio in the fetal pulmonary artery predicts fetal lung maturity.

Our data document a dramatic acceleration of L/S among patients with PPROM at or beyond 29 weeks. This is in agreement with previous observations by Gluck and Kulovich5 and Richardson et al.6 however, these patients did not receive antenatal steroids.
Fetal reactivity Two or more fetal heart rate accelerations of at least 15 beats/min and lasting at least 15 sec and associated with fetal movement in 20 min.No acceleration or less than two accretions of fetal heart rate in 20 min of observation.
It is often used to confirm the well-being of the fetus based on the principle that a healthy fetus will demonstrate an acceleration in its heart rate following movement.
During a NST the fetal heart rate is observed (by hooking the mother up to a fetal monitor) and evidence of accelerations in the heart rate that correlate with fetal movement are looked for.
There is an acceleration in weight gain during this period. It is often here where mums-to-be have cravings for certain foods and a strong dislike for other foods. Don’t deny yourself anything, but be careful not to snack too often.
Chinese researchers found that the fetuses responded to their own mother's voice with heart-rate acceleration and to the stranger's voice with a heart-rate deceleration.
Non-stress tests are performed in the third trimester and are done to monitor your baby's heart rate and to look for accelerations in your baby's baseline heart rhythm. They will place you on the fetal heart rate monitor and establish your... More ...
Essentially, the closer the deceleration rate of the body is with the car itself, the less acceleration of the body. Accelerating the body is what causes injuries in the crash (accelerating into the dashboard or the back of a seat, for example).
This means that the baby is doing well and responding to the contractions with the appropriate accelerations in heart rate.
A forceful landing or sudden acceleration or deceleration could harm your baby. Some studies show that raising your temperature during early pregnancy can cause problems, so you should avoid saunas and Jacuzzis too.
The fetus doesn't really "breathe," in the sense that he or she exchanges air, but the chest walls move, going through the motions.
Fetal Activity Determination (FAD), also referred to as a non-stress test (NST), in which accelerations of fetal ...
