How will the Test Feel?
External fetal monitoring:
Sitting in place for extended periods of time can become uncomfortable for some people. If this is the case, your health care provider (once notified) will help reposition you to a more comfortable position.
The jelly that is placed under the external monitors is the same used for ultrasounds, and may be cold.
Internal fetal monitoring:
Some patients report feeling mild discomfort while the electrode is inserted through the cervix.
