What is Fetal Distress?
An unborn baby is closely monitored during labor and birth. Alarms will sound if the baby exhibits any sort of distress, such as lack of oxygen. If the child is in any sort of distress, the heart rate pattern will fluctuate alerting the physician and staff that the baby needs immediate attention.
Many times the baby can be soothed with an increase of oxygen or intravenous fluids to the mother, or simply having the mother turn on her left side which relieves pressure on the abdomen and baby. If the baby is not carefully monitored and the signs of distress go unnoticed, the baby's health is placed in critical jeopardy that can lead to brain damage and death of the child.
