Happy Monday!
🪺 Community midwives use intermittent fetal monitoring with a hand-held Doppler.
🪺 Typically, this is done every 15-30 mins in active labor and every 5-15 mins during 2nd stage (pushing).
🪺 What are the benefits ! This gives the laboring mom more mobility and is often more comfortable compared to continuous fetal monitoring.
Reduces the risk of unnecessary interventions and is an appropriate option for low-risk parents.
