Fetal monitoring might not sound glamorous, but let’s be real—it’s one of those birth topics you need to understand before labor begins. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the tools hospitals and providers use to keep an eye on baby during birth. From continuous EFM to intermittent auscultation, internal monitoring, and the midwifery vs. medical approach, you’ll get the full breakdown (plus the real reason hospitals push for certain types of monitoring). Spoiler: it’s not always about safety. Knowledge is power, and this episode will help you feel more confident walking into your birth experience. Let’s talk facts, freedom, and how to make the best choices for your body and baby.
