The fetal heart rate during labor is a good indicator of how the fetus is handling the contractions of labor.

Breech deliveries increase the risk of brachial plexopathy by 175-fold, often causing bilateral injuries to the lower nerve roots of the brachial plexus.

Pregnancies diagnosed with the condition have higher chances of fetal distress, prematurity, and stillbirth. Because the mother is unable to correctly process the bile, it puts an additional load on the baby's liver.
This allows your health care provider to check if your baby is experiencing fetal distress, and how well the baby is tolerating the contractions.

During labor, the fetus should be monitored electronically; capillary blood sampling (from the scalp) determines acid-base balance. Any indication of fetal distress necessitates immediate cesarean delivery.
there is no alternative medicine that has proven effective for treatment. Penicillin will prevent passing syphilis to the baby, although treatment during the second half of pregnancy may not eliminate the risk for premature labor and fetal distress.
Additionally, some infants of mothers with ICP have a slow heart rate and a lack of oxygen during delivery (fetal distress). Many factors, however, play a part in determining the risk of this complex disorder.

with this condition are born prematurely and may have a temporary, potentially toxic, increase in lactic acid in the blood (lactic acidosis). Additionally, some infants have a slow heart rate and a lack of oxygen during delivery (fetal distress).
