Ep. 273: Electronic Fetal Monitoring with L&D RN, Caitlyn Schollmeier

In this episode, HeHe is joined by Caitlyn Schollmeier to discuss electronic fetal monitoring. They cover what electronic fetal monitoring is, why it is used, differences between continuous and intermittent monitoring, and various related topics. They also explore the implications of different monitoring choices on labor and delivery, including how interventions like Pitocin and epidurals require monitoring and tips for how different monitoring methods might affect movement and comfort during labor.

In this episode, we’re diving into the following questions:

When providers often use each type of monitoring and why they may use continuous monitoring more often.

How long are the breaks during intermittent monitoring?

What types of monitoring are best for low risk labors versus more complicated pregnancies?

What helps when we start to see wonky fetal heartones?

So what are some scenarios where you would want electronic fetal monitoring?
