What is another word for Foetal Distress?
Pronunciation: [fˈiːtə͡l dɪstɹˈɛs] (IPA) 
Foetal distress refers to any indication that a foetus may not be receiving sufficient oxygen or nutrients during pregnancy or labour, resulting in potential harm to the unborn baby. Synonyms for foetal distress may include fetal hypoxia, intrauterine asphyxia, fetal acidosis, or non-reassuring foetal status.
