As a teenager my mother repeatedly tapped my elbows and told me it wasn't "lady-like" to take up so much space. It is one small example of the many ways women are taught to stay small. Four things every person working in maternity care needs to know about CTGs... In 2025, I published 46 blog posts, with 26,800 readers, and had over a million views on Facebook. I have big plans for 2026 - read on to find out more. Subscribe so you don't miss out on any of the new things! If you have gestational diabetes, you are likely to be told you "must" have CTG monitoring in labour. What's the evidence actually say? Intermittent auscultation is a core midwifery skill - but many midwives lack confidence. Let me solve that for you. I hosted a live workshop about it a few months ago - and recorded it so you can still benefit from what I taught. Your regular reminder that the evidence doesn't stack up... Wish you could access some of the Birth Small Talk course lessons, and more, without having to pay for it? Well you can! Planning a #VBAC? YOU get to decide what fetal monitoring approach you want. This mini-course will get you on the right path with evidence-based information and planning resources. Make confident choices and communicate them powerfully! It's your #birth - make it happen the way you want it to. The recent fifth edition of RANZCOG's fetal monitoring guideline adopts a new approach, providing more accurate summaries of the quality of their evidence. Although it emphasises women's autonomy, they have not quite completed the task of shifting decision-making from obstetricians.
