This is going to have so many false positives as to be damn-near useless. The slightest movement can set a babies heart rate into a temporarily "abnormal" rate, I hate to think of all the poor women who will have panic attacks over normal variations in their babies rythym.

I hope they run some kind of trial validating its use at home for normal pregnancies. It seems to me that this is about as useful as a home ultrasound: that is, not at all useful and probably extremely dangerous.]]>Aug 30th 2009 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/two-mic-system-detects-fetal-heart-rate-anomalies-prenatal-beat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/two-mic-system-detects-fetal-heart-rate-anomalies-prenatal-beat/Aug 30th 2009 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/two-mic-system-detects-fetal-heart-rate-anomalies-prenatal-beat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/two-mic-system-detects-fetal-heart-rate-anomalies-prenatal-beat/Aug 30th 2009 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/two-mic-system-detects-fetal-heart-rate-anomalies-prenatal-beat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/two-mic-system-detects-fetal-heart-rate-anomalies-prenatal-beat/Aug 30th 2009 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/two-mic-system-detects-fetal-heart-rate-anomalies-prenatal-beat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/two-mic-system-detects-fetal-heart-rate-anomalies-prenatal-beat/Aug 30th 2009 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/two-mic-system-detects-fetal-heart-rate-anomalies-prenatal-beat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/two-mic-system-detects-fetal-heart-rate-anomalies-prenatal-beat/Aug 30th 2009 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/two-mic-system-detects-fetal-heart-rate-anomalies-prenatal-beat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/two-mic-system-detects-fetal-heart-rate-anomalies-prenatal-beat/Aug 30th 2009 9:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/two-mic-system-detects-fetal-heart-rate-anomalies-prenatal-beat/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/30/two-mic-system-detects-fetal-heart-rate-anomalies-prenatal-beat/
