Dear All,
Two things,
1. does anyone have the homepage address for Michel
Odent?
and
2. I cannot find any references for fetal heart
monitoring (non electronic) and the frequency i.e. how often one should listen
to the fetal heart. The WHO 'Care in Normal Birth: a practical guide'
recommends 15min to half hourly during first stage then after every contraction
during 2nd stage. However, it gives no reference that I can find 'why'
that this time is recommended or how they came by this
recommendation.
I have searched Cochrane etc and of no
use.
I would appreciate anyone who can give me some
references.
With thanks,
Anne Clarke
