I have that book, too. It's a good one and you can purchase it at the AWHONN website. It's actually the reference text we used for the Fetal Heart Monitoring classes by AWHONN.

just to add my 2cents, my teacher made up a cute song for fetal monitoring.

"It's a decel, it's a decel

to the left & to the right

Turn the pit off, grab the O2

Let the doc know were alright"

I loved that book when I was in L&D! I still do the Strong Perifax, so I use it for the EFM strips.
