Telemetry monitoring during labor is becoming more
common in hospital birth settings. Yet many doulas may not be
familiar with how it works or how it differs from traditional
continuous electronic fetal monitoring.
In this episode, we explore telemetry monitoring, how it
functions, and the potential benefits it offers for mobility and
comfort for laboring clients. We also discuss hospital policies,
common limitations, and how to support clients in understanding
their options when telemetry is available or when it is not.
As doulas, having a working knowledge of telemetry can
help us better advocate for client preferences, support informed
decision-making, and provide more effective physical and emotional
support during labor.
Join us for a practical and informative conversation to
help you feel more confident navigating this type of monitoring in
your birth support work.
