Prenatal assessment of fetal development is primarily carried out by measuring fetal heart rate (HR) and HR variability (HRV). HRV has been used as an index for the autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity. Hence, fetal ANS (fANS) development has been assessed in previous literature by evaluating fet...
