The invention relates to a method for locating wireless fetal monitoring probes in a set area. The method comprises the following steps: instructions are sent via a plurality of wireless base stations to instruct the wireless probes in the action scopes of the wireless base stations to send base station signal intensity data tables the wireless probes search all receivable base station signals, establish the base station signal intensity data tables in which signal intensities of the base stations are arranged according to the serial numbers of the base stations, and send the base station signal intensity data tables to a data management center operations are carried out based on the received current base station signal intensity data tables and base station signal intensity data tables of reference points to obtain a distance reference table the position of one with the smallest distance value is selected to be regarded as the current position of the corresponding probe. The invention further relates to a device for implementing the method. The method and the device for locating the wireless fetal monitoring probes in the set area have the benefits of quickly locating each wireless probe and avoiding loss of monitoring data.
