Most women will be offered CTG monitoring through their labour… but does it make a difference to the health of the mum and baby? In this episode Mel invites Kirsten to talk about the use of CTG foetal heart rate monitoring during labour and birth. This is a conscious re-edit of episode 12 - we’ve bumped it here to be part of our CTG series through episodes 111, 112 and 113.  Check out Kirstens work @birthsmalltalk on instagram and twitter and www.birthsmalltalk.com    To get on the mailing list for the podcast and to access the resource folders for each episode, visit www.melaniethemidwife.com Premium podcast members Hub Being a premium podcast member gives you access to the transcript and additional resources for each episode AND the 'ask Mel a question' button so you can submit questions for the monthly 'Ask me anything' episode.
