A method for determining a fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level, the method comprising: receiving, by a processor , a reflected electronic signal from a detector communicatively coupled to the processor, the reflected electronic signal corresponding to light reflected from a pregnant mammal's abdomen and a fetus contained therein, the reflected light being a portion of light projected, by a light source , into the pregnant mammal's abdomen and fetus contained therein, wherein the reflected light has been converted , by the detector, into the reflected electronic signal; processing , by the processor, the reflected electronic signal to isolate a portion of the reflected electronic signal that is reflected from the fetus, the processing of the reflected electronic signal to isolate the portion of the reflected electronic signal that is reflected from the fetus comprising: receiving , by the processor, a heartbeat signal for the pregnant mammal; determining a portion of the reflected electronic signal that corresponds with the heartbeat signal for the pregnant mammal by establishing a correlation between the pregnant mammal's heartbeat and changes in the reflected electronic signal; and subtracting the portion of the reflected electronic signal that corresponds with the heartbeat signal for the pregnant mammal from the reflected electronic signal; analyzing , by the processor, the isolated portion of the reflected electronic signal to determine a fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level of the fetus; and facilitating , by the processor, provision of an indication of the fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level to a display device . receiving, by a processor , a reflected electronic signal from a detector communicatively coupled to the processor, the reflected electronic signal corresponding to light reflected from a pregnant mammal's abdomen and a fetus contained therein, the reflected light being a portion of light projected, by a light source , into the pregnant mammal's abdomen and fetus contained therein, wherein the reflected light has been converted , by the detector, into the reflected electronic signal; processing , by the processor, the reflected electronic signal to isolate a portion of the reflected electronic signal that is reflected from the fetus, the processing of the reflected electronic signal to isolate the portion of the reflected electronic signal that is reflected from the fetus comprising: receiving , by the processor, a heartbeat signal for the pregnant mammal; determining a portion of the reflected electronic signal that corresponds with the heartbeat signal for the pregnant mammal by establishing a correlation between the pregnant mammal's heartbeat and changes in the reflected electronic signal; and subtracting the portion of the reflected electronic signal that corresponds with the heartbeat signal for the pregnant mammal from the reflected electronic signal; receiving , by the processor, a heartbeat signal for the pregnant mammal; determining a portion of the reflected electronic signal that corresponds with the heartbeat signal for the pregnant mammal by establishing a correlation between the pregnant mammal's heartbeat and changes in the reflected electronic signal; and subtracting the portion of the reflected electronic signal that corresponds with the heartbeat signal for the pregnant mammal from the reflected electronic signal; analyzing , by the processor, the isolated portion of the reflected electronic signal to determine a fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level of the fetus; and facilitating , by the processor, provision of an indication of the fetal hemoglobin oxygen saturation level to a display device . <EOS>
