Fetal Monitors

ddti asked:


so I am ttc baby #2 and I have an annual app with an OBGYN, would it be weird to ask her things about her labor and delivery protocol, almost like an OB interview with prenatal and delivery questions, if I am not even pregnant yet???
Questions like:

can I move around, eat & drink in labor?
questions regarding tearing & episiotomies?
induction & fetal monitoring?
etc.

Would that be weird since I am not even pregnant yet? TIA

A full term baby’s heart rate is between 110 and 160 bpm, correct? So how can you tell while your in labor if the baby is in distress? Heart rate would drop to WHAT number for HOW LONG?
Is this easy for you, partner or a doula to monitor to ensure doctors aren’t just saying the classic line of, “looks like the baby’s heart rate is dropping, gonna need to go ahead and do a c section.”

Thanks

I went up to the hospital about 35 weeks because I was having some lower abdominal pain. They hooked me up to the monitor and saw that I wasnt having contractions BUT the baby was moving quite a bit. They even gave me an ultrasound to make sure the baby wasnt head up digging her feet into my lower abdomen but all checked out fine and they just assumed it was the movement the baby was making that was hurting so bad, after that day the pain stopped but of course fetal movement kept its course. now Im 37.5 and started having contractions 3 days ago after having sex now Im having muscus discharge and BH but the pain started back up. i dont know if its a contraction or if its the baby moving, if its the baby wouldnt i feel t everytime she moves?

So its my decision im 40weeks and 2days.ive been having reduced fetal movement and have been on the monitor checking that baby is ok a few times now.babies heartbeat is about 125 and even managed to get bub to move a couple times with ice water. But my doc says that the reduced movements make her a little anixous and wants me to seriously consider induction. But its my choice obviously.. Im not too concerned about the extra painful contractions as i am concerned about baby and whether or not induction will cause her to go into distress. But i feel like my options are to wait however long counting kicks and risk that something could be wronge causing the reduced movement or option 2 to be induced and risk baby being distressed with extra stronge contractions that werent her idea.i have a midwife appointment today and was thinking of getting another membrane sweep(now im overdue im hoping it will work) followed by evening primrose oil then a walk and if this doesnt work maybe just keep a eye on the movements and making an induction date from say 6 days from now.i am gettingg about 10 kicks a day from when i wake to when i go to bed. And before they became reduced about 6days ago i was getting 20 or more as baby has been a very active little one since i first started feeling her movements.i really want it to happen naturally but i am worn out (also have a toddler)and dont know if i can keep trying all these different things to bring it on ive done a s*** load of walking, some squatting, sex everyday for 4days, curry.and had 2 other membrane sweeps at 39wks and 39+2days some of these things gave me mild irregular contractions but didnt work.im 2-3cm dilated and 90% effaced.whats your thoughts mummys? Nurses? Docs?

I’m 18 weeks and we rented a fetal doppler heart rate monitor from Belly Beats on the internet. We were able to hear the heartbeat the first 2 nights, but for the last 2 we haven’t been able to find it. I don’t know how reliable these dopplers are, so I don’t know if I should worry or what. What do you think? Let me know your experience.

I rented an at home fetal dopplar and it works….but the only thing sounding like a heart beat matched my own heartbeat perfectly…so I am fairly certain it wasn’t the babies. I tried for like 40 min and I couldn’t find anything sounding like a horse galloping (like the manual said it would sound like)…I heard the whirl wind sound thats the blood moving in and out of the uterus….but no baby heartbeat. I thought this machine would give me peace of mind…but now I am freaking out. I am 10 weeks preggo…and my doc. ultrasound at 8 weeks said everything was fine…the heartrate was 164 and the baby was the right size and everything…I haven’t had any bleeding or anything…and i feel fine expect for the usual preggo symptoms. I had a full bladder when I used it too…which is what the directions recommended….should I be worried?? I was really expecting to hear the heartbeat…and the monitor can detect it as early as 6 weeks…and Im 10 weeks!!!!

I am referring to the sonogram, doppler, and the electronic fetal monitor.
So do you think it is less than 5%? I am referring to ladies who get prenatal care.
The baby get checked with the fetascope, not the doppler.

I will be 20 weeks pregnant on wed. and I haven’t felt distinct kicks yet, I had an ultrasound last week everything looked great and my Dr. told me since this was my first not to be discouraged…I have a angelsounds heart monitor and from what I hear they suck, for my own reassuarance I wanted to rent a fetal doppler from Babybeat until I can feel regular kicks, it looks just like the one they use @ my dr. Has anyone tried these? Do they work? I don’t want to waste money or worry myself anymore then needed

smallfeetz asked:


I would like to buy a fetal heart rate monitor. I had a miscarriage before and currently I am 12w3d and a high risk pregnancy. So I really want to be able to know everything is okay rather than waiting two weeks to see a doctor.

Which brand is best? Any advice on what to look for?
