fetal monitoring while in labor?
Posted by admin
liz C asked:
I recently expressed my wish to have as little intervention as possible while in labor to my Dr, including being able to walk, change position, etc. She said that until my water breaks I only need to be on a fetal monitor for 15min/ hr…which is fine with me. She also said that once my water breaks I need to be continually monitored b/c with no fluid the cord is more likely to slip out and cut off oxygen to the baby. My thought is if the babies head is engaged the cord can’t slip out!??! Any suggestions to tactfully approch this with the hospital staff should it become an issue.

The doctors probably don’t hear this very often. Fetal monitering is their standard safety procedure. That being said, if you don’t want it, you don’t have to have it. They can’t give you a service if you refuse it. Politely explain that you don’t want a fetal moniter during labor and explain your reasons. But if the fetal moniter helps to detect any abnormalities in your baby’s breathing and heart-rate, why take the chance?
