Abstract

We have measured fetal magneto-cardiograms in three subjects of gestation ages 33–37 weeks. Maternal interference was negligible in all recordings. Accurate measures of heart rate, beat-to-beat variability, and averaged MCG waveforms were derived. The results confirm that magnetic monitoring offers significant advantages for antepartum monitoring and deserves further investigation.
