Fetal magnetocardiograph (fMCG) provides a new non-invasive technique for monitoring fetal cardiac wellbeing during the last 10 weeks ofpregnancy. Using a single channel second order SQUID gradiometer located over the maternal abdomen we have successfully recorded QRS complexes in 9 of 11 subjects from 30-40 weeks gestation and full PQRSTcomplexes in all 4 subjects in whom off-line averaging techniques were applied.
