Monitoring of the mother and fetus prior to birth is critical to avoid complications after birth. This is often done via electronic<unk>  heart rate (FHR) monitoring, which helps providers monitor the fetus' heart rate to ensure it is receiving enough oxygen, monitor the mother's contractions, and monitor the mother's blood pressure and systemic symptoms for gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, or eclampsia.
