Fetal Assessment In Labor

“Thank you for your great course! It was a good review of information that all midwives should know as well as a good opportunity to catch up on new recommendations and research. ”

“I learned so much from this class. It truly shows the importance of 5 second counting while monitoring the fetus. I also enjoyed the topics on accelerations, decelerations, and variables. I appreciated the review on the Category I, II, and III FHR patterns. One of the most interesting points for me was the description of what the fetus experiences during the conditions that lead up to primary and secondary apnea in utero. I appreciated the spirit in which Holly taught this course as well as her in-depth knowledge of the subject matter. ”

“Great information laid out in an order that makes sense to someone taking the webinar. Invaluable for the starting midwife and challenging for those of us that have been around a long time. Information to add to our base and ideas to help us rethink what we know. Only by growth can we better ourselves in servicing mothers and babies. This course lends to that goal.”

“There was an amazing amount of material in this course and I felt it was very beneficial. I am going to have to work quite a bit on the 5 second count to become proficient at it. It was new to me and quite helpful. I also had not heard the information on scalp stimulation for a depressed infant, so I am going to research that some more.”

“very informative very intense”

“Holly rocks as usual. Learned tons of practical information. Now have new skills and new ways of charting and expressing my reassurance and concerns during prenatal care and in labor. Some frustration with quizzes and end test feeling occasionally inconsistent with information learned, but this is not a reflection of the overall quality of the workshop. Jocelyn - Based on feedback, we looked at the aggregate data on ProProfs and removed any questions that a significant number of students got "wrong." Thanks for bringing our attention to this issue! ~ Jesica”

“I highly recommend this class for updated information on FHT assessment. Holly Scholles was clear and enjoyable to listen to. My only complaint with the test is that, with current discrepancies (particularly surrounding early decels vs. variable decels), the test questions were at times confusing. It was hard to tell upon which information they were based upon. The material was clear for practice, though. Chelsea - Thanks for the review! We went through the post-test a couple months ago and removed any test questions that a large percentage users were having trouble with, based on their responses on ProProfs (we can see aggregate stats per question). Did you take the test more recently, or was it perhaps prior to that change? If it was recently, please email us to let us know which test questions you found confusing, so we can take a look at them and either edit them or remove them. Thank you! ~ Jesica ”

“Thank you! I needed a refresher and learned some new stuff! Definitely a help in my clinical and homebirth practice.”

“I found that I am clearly out of practice in taking tests. So there was a lesson in itself: after 12 years I need to brush up on study skills. Definitely gathered some very valuable new information and will incorporate the 5 second ct in my assessments. Thank you !”

“The class was very thorough and well taught. Thanks so much!”

“This workshop was extremely informative for me. I have been a busy midwife for 5 years and thought this would be a review for me. It was not a review, I learned completely new information. I also had my students take the course and they benifited greatly. We are actually changing our protocols for FHT assessment during labor. I truly enjoyed this class and the PDFs provided are very helpful. ”
