Continuous monitoring of the fetal heart rate (FHR) is crucial in this situation to assess the well-being of the fetus.

This monitoring allows for prompt intervention if necessary to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby. Administering betamethasone may be indicated to promote fetal lung maturity in cases of anticipated preterm birth, but it is not the priority in this scenario where monitoring the fetal well-being is crucial.
