Mom G
I want a video monitor that shows both cribs/rooms at the same time. Does something like this exist?
actually, it's not really twins...more like Irish Twins. Basically a 1 year old and newborn. I just put "twins" to make it easy...less to explain but it didn't work!
Answer
This one had good reviews. You will need to buy another "camera" for the 2nd room.

Here is all the video monitors. It doesn't appear to be any others that can accommodate two rooms.

Answer
Little bit of an overview of 'Internal Fetal Monitoring'
If you want more information, maybe in more detail, google
'Internal Fetal Monitoring'
Internal fetal monitoring is used for high risk births or during a normal birth where the birth team is having trouble keeping the baby on the monitor or the baby's reaction doesn't look great on the less accurate form of external fetal monitoring (EFM).
With internal fetal monitoring the mother's bag of waters must be broken. If it has not broken on it's own then an amniotomy will be performed to break the water. A fetal scalp electrode is placed by screwing a tiny sire into the top layers of the baby's scalp, then relaying the baby's heart rate to the fetal monitor. This is more accurate because it does not use ultrasound.
At the same time an intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC) can also be placed inside the uterus. It goes between the uterine wall and the baby. This also allows the midwife or doctor to know the exact force from the contractions, rather than a simple graphical representation given by external monitoring. This is very useful in the case of induction.
Internal monitoring can also prevent an unnecessary cesarean for fetal distress if it shows the baby is healthy, compared to the less accurate external monitoring. Though there are risks associated with the internal monitor:
Risk of infection for mom and baby
Restricts movement of the mother
Reduction in movement can cause more pain
