FHR and maternal contractions tracing reading help

Published

Hi guys, I just can't grasp these FHR tracing's! I can kinda see the decel's and can sorta see if they are early, late or variable. But I have no idea how to find the FHR baseline, nor how frequent the contractions are. I've read the book, (Olds) and did this thing called Peri-facts our teacher has us do. But just can't get it! Does anyone have any tips?:uhoh3:

I just finished maternity and I hated looking at the strips. Some strips are harder then others to read....depends on the machine and the positioning. The baseline is the line that is straight, not jumping around. It's hard to explain without showing you. Hopefully someone else can explain better.
