About this study
The purpose of this study is to develop an unobtrusive means of acquiring the fetal electrocardiogram (fECG) during exercise to determine heart rate and to characterize fetal status (ST, T wave, and additional analysis) by means of an abdominal recording device. The device will be used to evaluate the safety of the fetus during exercise in order to develop medical guidelines for the higher limits of pregnant women during strenuous exercise.
