[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]In the 60's, a significant number of infants were stillborn or died post partum[/b]---historically even more. The species isn't concerned with your personal survival and a significant amount of wastage takes place---do you want to be one? Close monitoring with efm can indeed pick up late decelerations or a flat heartrate that is unvarying...both signs of fetal distress. What I find most telling is that docs are frequently sued for failure to use the technology---and the women say they would have used it if they had just understood that they could be the one in one thousand.

got something to back that up? "Significant" indicates a pretty large number. Perhaps even a majority. I find it impossible to believe that over half of the pregnancies in America resulted in either stillbirths or died shortly after birth.

One could also suggest that a number of infants that would have died after birth now survive due to better technology that means extreme premature infants live, and that those infants born with diseases, abnormalities, or genetic disorders that did not have treatments in the 1960s are treatable now. None of which has anything to do at all with continuous electronic fetal monitoring.[/quote]
