Prime Minister urged to ban sales of 'home doppler' pregnancy monitors
A charity which supports pregnant women and families who experience stillbirths is calling for a ban on over-the-counter sales of 'home dopplers'. The devices allow expectant mothers to monitor their baby's heartbeat.
'Kicks Count' says that the devices can give a false sense of security, and should only be used by trained medical professionals who know how to interpret the data properly.
