Labour and Delivery Care in Indore with Fetal Monitoring
How we watch you and your baby during labour: fetal heart checks, CTG, labour progress charts, induction when needed and quick escalation to keep birth safe.
Careful monitoring during labour helps us notice early if mother or baby needs help. At Asian Navkar Hospital, Indore, monitoring is matched to your risk level, so low-risk mothers can move freely while higher-risk labours receive continuous electronic monitoring.
How We Monitor Labour
- Baby's heartbeat: intermittent listening with a Doppler for low-risk labour, or continuous cardiotocography (CTG) when indicated, for example in VBAC, induced labour, epidural use or high-risk pregnancy
- Mother's health: blood pressure, pulse, temperature and fluids
- Labour progress: contractions and cervical dilatation recorded on a labour chart (partograph)
Induction of Labour
Labour may be induced when continuing the pregnancy is riskier than delivery, for example after 41 weeks, with high blood pressure or when waters break without contractions. Methods include medicines and balloon catheters. Your doctor will explain the reason and process.
Quick Escalation
If monitoring shows concern, the team acts promptly, which may mean changing position, fluids, assisted delivery or caesarean section. The operation theatre, anaesthesia and NICU are on site.
