or prolonged. FHR decelerations are defined according to their visual relationship to the onset and end of a contraction and by their shape. Early decelerations Visually apparent gradual decrease in and return to the baseline FHR associated with uterine contractions. The onset‚ nadir‚ and recovery of the deceleration generally correspond to the beginning‚ peak‚ and end of the contraction. Early decelerations are thought to be cause by transient fetal head compression and are considered a benign finding
