An internal option is attached to the fetus’s scalp and provides more accurate heart rate readings. Changes in fetal heart rate during labor can be normal, but they can also indicate a problem for the fetus or the pregnant person. Specific patterns of deceleration, such as late deceleration, can be signs of fetal distress, which may require emergency interventions, such as a cesarean section delivery (C-section)....

It finally made its return to the U.S. and was sold at Freeman’s in Philadelphia, the home of the original declaration, for a staggering $4,420,000 on July 1. The document is believed to have traveled across the Atlantic when Carroll presented one of his copies to his grandson-in-law John MacTavish and his wife, Emil Caton....
