CTG's can only reveal what is happening at that
moment and are subjective to interpretation. Often a CTG can look
positively awful, and yet after FBS the pH is fine - and how often have many of
us taken an emergency C/S to theatre because of a trace that was not reassuring
- to have a screaming, healthy baby emerge (thank goodness, as you are on
stand-by with resus). This is very sad Michelle, but you cannot say this has
happened because CTG's are unreliable. The CTG at 3pm was probably reflecting
accurately - and the poor midwife who was responsible for performing that CTG
will be feeling bad enough as it is.
Just my thoughts having been through a similar
situation..................
