Pregnancy - such a wonderful time. Full of nausea, heartburn and a craving to chew on charcoal... This can only be matched by the feeling of your baby playing football with your kidneys. Weirdly enough though, it's exactly those football skills that doctors use to measure the health of the baby - if it's kicking you to bits, it's doing alright. This monitor is designed to measure the number of kicks you're getting, both to reassure the mother-to-be and inform doctors quickly of any complications. It can also be used to time contractions, so you're not left in one of those awkward "You're serious? You want me to come back when they're even worse than this? Are you SERIOUS?" moments at the hospital.
Not being anything close to child-bearing myself it's not going to benefit my life, but anything that reassures sprog-carriers and makes the delightful nine months a little less stressful can surely only be a good thing.
