Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring During Labor Description
|
|
To check how your baby is doing during labor and delivery, his or her heart rate is monitored with special equipment. This is called fetal heart rate monitoring. Most babies will have changes in their heart rates some time during labor and delivery. These are normal. However, some changes in the heart rate of the baby can signal a problem.
Fetal monitoring cannot prevent a problem from occurring. However, it can alert your doctor or nurse to warning signs and allow them to take steps to help the baby.
This pamphlet explains:
- Types of fetal heart rate monitoring
- What the patterns may mean
- What risks may be involved
