@mama.oncall: that constant beeping monitor in your labor room is telling a complete story and most moms spend their entire labor watching it without knowing what they are actually looking at 🤍 so here is exactly how to read it — two lines. not one 👆 the top line is your baby’s heart rate. the bottom line is your contractions. they are two separate pieces of information that your labor and delivery nurse is reading together in real time your baby’s normal heart rate sits between 110 and 160 beats per minute. that sounds fast because it is fast — almost twice your resting heart rate — and that is exactly where we want it ❤️ ⚠️ This content is for educational purposes only. Always trust and follow the guidance of your labor and delivery team regarding fetal monitoring during your labor. #laboranddelivery #fetalmonitoring #laboranddeliverynurse #birthpreparation #fetalheartrateMonitoring
