Guideline
Intrapartum care for women with existing medical conditions or obstetric complications and their babies
Intrapartum care for women with existing medical conditions or obstetric complications and their babies - National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)
This guideline covers care during labour and birth for women who need extra support because they have a medical condition or complications in their current or previous pregnancy. The guideline also covers women who have had no antenatal care. It aims to improve experiences and outcomes for women and their babies.
NICE has also produced a guideline on care during labour and birth for healthy women and their babies.
In April 2019 we replaced recommendations on continuous cardiotocography for women with a previous caesarean section with links to our guideline on caesarean section.
