Key insights from the Research Topic and future directions. There is a growing awareness of the antecedents of intrapartum fetal reserve for the trial of labor which require an integration of the physiology of whole pregnancy and the well-known relationships between intrauterine adversity on one hand, and the perinatal and postnatal developmental trajectories on the other hand (Developmental Origins of Health and Disease, the DOHaD concept). Another key insight is the requirement for clinically actionable outcome labels in the prediction models that are being developed and the recognition of the fundamental constraints on the data sizes of the individually accessible cohorts. Therefore, there is a clear need for multinational and multidisciplinary work to address the different challenges and research questions, which are all integral to successfully improving the technologies for intrapartum fetal monitoring.
