Fetal Monitoring
In pregnancy and during labor, your health care provider will check your unborn baby’s heart rate and other functions. Monitoring can be done on the outside of your belly (external monitoring). Or it may be done directly on the baby while inside your uterus (internal monitoring). Fetal monitoring is a very common procedure.
