Continuous Fetal Monitoring, A Lot Of Fussing Over Nothing- Pregnancy Coach POV (Part 4 of 5) Birth Interventions To Decline
May 27, 2024 Season 1 Episode 4
Lisa Villani

Continuous Fetal Monitoring, #4 in my series, My Top 5 Interventions to Decline in a Hospital for a Natural Birth. In this episode I break down the two main approaches:

  • Electronic Fetal Monitoring (EFM)
  • Hands-on Listening

We also delve into the "why nots" of less common hands-on listening:

You'll walk away knowing how to:

  • Discuss both EFM and hands-on listening with your care provider.
  • Understand the risks and benefits of each method.
  • Advocate for your preferences, especially if you have a low-risk pregnancy.

More questions about your options when it comes to monitoring baby's heart rate and how to navigate tricky conversations with your practitioner? DM me over on IG @empoweredbirthcoaching I'd love to hear from you!
