Hints on monitoring
Make sure the transducer is placed in the optimum position. Avoid positions with
strong placental sounds (swishing) or the fetal cord pulse at the same rate as the fetal
heart.
If the fetus is in the Occiput Anterior presentation and the mother is supine, the
clearest heart sound will normally be found on the midline below the umbilicus.
It is not possible to monitor the fetal heart rate unless an audible fetal heart signal is
present. It is important to distinguish the fetal pulse from the maternal pulse. To do
this, feel the mother’s pulse during the examination, or monitor Maternal HR with
ECG or MSpO
