Abstract
In this paper, the parameters to be measured non- invasively are fetal movement and uterine contractions with the help of novel MEMS based piezoelectric sensor as these may impose stress on the fetus. The recording was performed on 10 pregnant women in the age group of 26-38 weeks of gestation. The sensor shows the good results.
