Are you pregnant and planning your next birth after a caesarean section? If the plan is for a vaginal birth, the decisions you make about fetal monitoring can make a big difference to your experience of your labour and the chance of another caesarean section. What is your favourite quote from Monitoring Your Baby in Labour? Comment BOOK and I'll send you the details of where to grab your copy of Monitoring Your Baby In Labour It's my opinion that one of the most important factors that will predict whether your birth is AMAZING or traumatic is the type of Fetal Monitoring used in labour and who was in charge of making the decisions about what to use. It's hard to find reliable information about your options. Many maternity professionals repeat the same tired myths and don't know what the evidence really says. There's an entirely different way of thinking about maternity services outside of clinical trials, guidelines, and textbooks. Risk and Uncertainty in Maternity Care: Putting Risk In Its Place provides an opportunity to get out of your scrubs and to learn a different way to look at the work you do. LAST CHANCE! I'm finishing up the slide deck and checking everything is ready for Confident Intermittent Auscultation tonight. In recent years, there's been increased awareness about the possibility of confusion between maternal and fetal heart rates during CTG monitoring. So people started continuously recording maternal heart rate to prevent that from happening. This new research indicates that adding maternal heart rate data to the CTG might be having a negative impact on CTG interpretation. Read the details on the blog - including my suggestions for how to solve the problem. Confident Intermittent Auscultation - my live workshop - is days away. Are you still stuck trying to work out whether to come join me? Maybe one of these is what you have been thinking.
