what does a saltatory pattern on fetal heart tracing represent?
brief acute hypoxia that is seen in second phase of labor
- characterized by increased variability
- be wary of progression to acidosis

basic phys of LE in pregnancy
increase venous pressure due to compression of IVC + decreased plasma osmolality due to dilutional affect

after 34 weeks
-oligohydramnios –> can decrease fetal urine
whats a vasa previa? what are the consequences?
when fetal vessels overlie the os due to valementous cord insertion
can cause rapid exsanguination of fetus (baby doesn’t have a lot of blood to loose to begin with)
