The electronic monitor tracks and displays a baby's heart rate in parallel with the rise and fall of uterine contractions.
Monitoring of the baby's heart rate can be external (picking up the heart rate through an ultrasound device held against the mother's belly with a belt or a mesh band).
Contractions can also be monitored externally (using a pressure sensor held against the belly by a belt or a mesh band) or internally (with a thin tube inserted into the uterus).
