Fetal heart rate (FHR) response to cesarean section was studied in 65 patients. Induction of anesthesia, skin, fascial, peritoneal and bladder flap incisions were not associated with a change in FHR. Abdominal preparation was associated with FHR decelerations in 15% of cases. Myometrial incision was followed by FHR deceleration in 11% of cases. No correlation between the incision/delivery (I‐D) interval and FHR changes was seen.
