Abstract: The aim of maternity care is the birth of a healthy baby to a healthy mother. Despite all efforts birth asphyxia occurs in 2 per 1000 births in developed countries and is almost 10 times higher in developing countries.1 In order to assess the fetal wellbeing, several antepartum surveillance tests have been devised. The most commonly used surveillance method is Cardiotocography (CTG). This prospective observational study was conducted in the Post graduate department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of GMC Srinagar associated Lalla Ded Hospital over a period of one and a half year from December 2017 to August 2019. Two hundred and fifty one primigravidae with low risk pregnancies at term in early labour were subjected to admission CTG.
