Summary and Quiz

For low risk women, care in labour is often lead by the midwife. As you have learnt the partogram helps to assess progress in labour and  maternal and fetal wellbeing. Where there are concerns, the CTG will allow for additional fetal monitoring. Recognition of abnormal progress or concerns regarding fetal wellbeing requires appropriate further consultation with a charge midwife or an obstetrician. Here are 2 MCQS as a self test-as usual one stem and one correct answer out of the 5 possibilities.
