#68 PROFESSIONAL | The Risk Vs Reward of CTG’s with Kristin Smalls

 
 
 

Holy heck! Strap in for this one, mamas, because we’re about to blow your mind about the CTG cardiotech graph! Well, by we, I mean my guest, Kirsten Smalls… my role was more so just sitting there with my mouth gaped open because the evidence behind this thing is as shocking as it is fascinating! 


This episode is going to be so helpful for your decision making process around what scenarios you would be happy with the CTG vs what scenarios you will not. By listening, you will be able to identify when the risk of having the CTG outweighs the alternative risk – be that, meconium in the waters, blood loss, having an oxytocin drip or another issue. 


We discuss:

  • Evidence behind CTG’s 

  • Risks of CTG’s

  • Scenarios that CTG’s are used in

  • How to be a supportive birth partner

  • & so much more!


This podcast is for:

  • Mamas who desire to have a hospital birth with minimum medical intervention

  • Birth partners who want to be educated about interventions that may be offered during labour

  • Couples who desire to have a birth experience that aligns with their values
