What is the importance of monitoring the baby's movements during labour???

2y trước

Prior to active labour, it is important to monitor foetal movements. I refer to the previous talk on "Ask the Expert Series: Why is it Important to Count Kicks During Pregnancy?" that was held on 16 Aug on this platform. During active labour, rather that assessing foetal movements, healthcare professionals use a monitoring device known as a cardiotocograph (CTG) to monitor the foetal heart rate and labour contractions in real time to pick up any potential sign of distress as early as possible.
