I acknowledge that Lesley I are at odds on this question. The
informed choice guidelines ask some very important questions: "How do fetal
heart rate patterns reflect foetal compromise? The understanding and
interpretation of variations in the foetal heart rate are still in it's
infancy."
the only reason to listen to the fh is to assess for fetal wellbeing/coping with the
stress of labour. the reason you listen before during and after a contraction (not
everytime, possibly, but certainly if there is any decelerations noted) is to get a
good'feel' of what the heart rate is doing.
Dear all,
my experience is that the only midwifery model in SA is that belonging to
our independant midwives. We have some excellent midwives working within the

This sounds really horrible, but I hope (since it's live) that something
goes wrong so that people can see what really goes on!

doctors and nurses in the theatre would be good!)

The more people like us "react" the more determined

Hi Andrea,
Can you please contact Justine Caines and let her know. We've just been
discussing an MC response to this and she was going to contact the
producer. Also please be sure to contradict that Jackass Ob about the

Andrea, I think it is really important that you mention that women
who've had bad caesarean experiences would feel traumatised by this live

who believe that a caesarian is the easier and better option; and even worse,
that it doesn't matter HOW the baby comes out - as long as it's out. Obviously
