So why might a Fetal Scalp Electrode (FSE) be advised? If there are concerns about the baby’s heart rate and it’s unclear whether the monitor is picking up mum’s heart rate instead, an FSE can give a clearer picture. Your heart rate is typically between 60–100 bpm, while a baby’s heart rate is normally 110–160 bpm. If the monitor shows a rate closer to 60–100 bpm, it may be uncertain whether that’s baby or mums, especially if baby’s heart rate is suspected to be dropping. In these cases, an FSE

They call it a “clip.” Sometimes a “sticker.” Let’s be honest. A fetal scalp electrode is a metal coil that is inserted just under your baby’s skin. Words matter. Because soft language can soften consent and that’s not informed consent. Laboring mothers should not have to pull education out of nurses in the middle of contractions. Education is not a bonus feature of care. It is the job. You deserve to know: • what it is • how it’s placed • why it’s being recommended • the risks • the alternative

I laboured for 27hrs with a failed epidural, losing her heart rate multiple times..hence the fetal scalp electrode(I felt everything)..ended up in an emergency c sec anyways.. only to then feel them 🔪 me open ..to being knocked out.. to finally seeing her with a bloody dent in her head that we had to cream every 3 -4 hours of weeks. I remember every single detail and just because it didn’t happen in your experience doesn’t mean it’ didn’t for somebody else’s #birth #laboranddelivery #baby

Dr. Monica on Instagram: "Description of a Fetal Scalp Electrode (FSE), a device used in labor to monitor baby’s heart rate. Yes, this device does have a small amount of risk to it, and is minutely invasive to the baby. This is only used when absolutely necessary, and when benefits outweigh the risks. #FSE #FetalScalpElectrode #labor #pregnancy #OBGYN For educational purposes only, not to be considered medical advice."

Megan Hangan - Midwife and Lactation Consultant on Instagram: "What is a fetal scalp electrode? During labour, monitoring your baby’s heart rate helps your care team understand how they’re coping. For most low-risk labours, this is done with intermittent auscultation—a midwife will use a Doppler every 15–30 minutes during active labour. If there are concerns or certain risk factors, continuous CTG monitoring may be recommended. If the CTG isn’t giving a clear reading—due to lots of movement or c
