Unbelievable!!!

BirthTrack Labor Progress Monitor
Intense monitoring gearing up…

This device is FDA approved and actively being marketed to hospitals.

Probes monitor real-time cervical progress and “lets you know” when the baby is ready to come out or that labor is not progressing. Takes all the guess work out of labor.

“Barnev's Continuous Labor Monitoring System, BirthTrack, enables obstetricians to make decisions based on accurate and timely information, resulting in significantly improved medical care, reduced costs, and a lower risk of malpractice.”

I'd file this under the "Now I've Seen Everything" label, but we all know it wouldn't be the last entry.

Wha???? WHA?????

Oh for goodness sake. That's just plain CRAZY!!!

Does an upgraded model pull the baby out, too? And bathe it and put a diaper on it? While you're down the hall or playing golf??

I shudder when I see this. Yet another piece of machinery to alienate us (the care providers) from the laboring women. Yet another machine to focus on, instead of focusing on the woman!
