[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess the fetal monitors could be a hindrance if you really wanted to get up and walk around and give birth in the tub and all that, but if you had an epidural, how would they even affect you? I have 2 kids and had an epidural both times and there was no way I was getting out of that hospital bed. They could have strapped whatever to my stomach and it wouldn’t have made a difference. I have to assume most women are getting an epidural, and a lot of women who aren’t, are giving birth outside a hospital - at home or in a birth center, where you wouldn’t expect much monitoring or much in the way of medical interventions anyway. So this seems like a problem for only a small sub set of women … [/quote] Did you read the article? Its very clear how relying on the monitor leads to more c-sections, and how that leads to more fatalities.[/quote]
