Cardiotocography is used to monitor fetal heart rate. Decreased movement felt by the mother; Meconium in the amniotic fluid ("meconium stained fluid") Non-reassuring patterns seen on cardiotocography: increased or decreased fetal heart rate (tachycardia and bradycardia), especially during and after a contraction; decreased variability in the ...
