So the nurse fumbles around putting on the external fetal monitor “pucks” and says “don’t move…” and you breathe and lose the heartbeat. The fix is usually easy. Have the dad run over there when she steps out and have him put more of the goo on the heartbeat puck. They usually don’t clean and reapply the goo between sessions. So, there is not enough. Goo the mother up to cover the puck well. Then, mom can shift around and get comfy without losing the heartbeat. I type while listening to little Zoe!
