Dear All,
 
Two things,
 
1. does anyone have the homepage address for Michel Odent?
 
and
 
2. I cannot find any references for fetal heart monitoring (non electronic) and the frequency i.e. how often one should listen to the fetal heart.  The WHO 'Care in Normal Birth: a practical guide' recommends 15min to half hourly during first stage then after every contraction during 2nd stage.  However, it gives no reference that I can find 'why' that this time is recommended or how they came by this recommendation.
 
I have searched Cochrane etc and of no use.
 
I would appreciate anyone who can give me some references.
 
With thanks,
Anne Clarke
