Hi
Stress during pregnacy is not good. Your sister is 35 wks pregnant and now showing variations in fetal heart rate 190-60 .usually it should not happen.if we see this type of variation it indicate fetal stress.most common thing to exclude preeclampsia means need to exclude mother high blood pressure. Nothing to worry.asses mother blood pressure and accordingly you proceed.
Thank you
