Fetal heart rate changes occur in the majority of labours and correlate poorly with perinatal outcome and subsequent neurological development. Obstetricians giving expert evidence related to the interpretation of intrapartum cardiotocographs are advised to exercise caution when expressing their opinions.Keywords
