Abstract
During gestation the abdominally recorded fetal ECG (FECG) changes as a result of changes in the conductive medium. In particular, a minimum occurs in the FECG amplitude around 30 weeks of gestation. Based on the results of an extensive FECG study, the effect of these changes on the fetal MCG are simulated. It is shown that the FMCG amplitude is not greatly affected by the changes in the conductive medium. The FMCG waveform, however, is.Keywords
