New device to record fetal heart beat for high risk pregnancies

Being pregnant is a great feeling. The tension lies in the risk factors affecting pregnancies these days. Risky pregnancies are a lot prevalent today. Pregnancy specialists have put down a lot of hard work to create a baby and mother foetal monitor. This monitor records baby and mother heart beats as different signals. The device works at a strech for 24 hours. It is portable and is worn around the mother's stomach which has 5 electodes attached around the mother's stomach. The data is stored in an USB. The device is a mobile phone sized one.

Usually an ultrasound monitor is used to check baby foetal heart rate. But this not a very reliable one, especially for high risk pregnancies. The device does not monitor the uterus, baby position or movements. It keeps track of baby activities round the clock.
