Kick counts are a proven safeguard.
Structured maternal fetal movement counting from 28 weeks is associated with reduced stillbirth risk in high-risk pregnancies (BMC Pregnancy & Childbirth, 2018).
A home fetal Doppler, an automated movement patch and a fetal-medicine specialist on call — so what happens between scans is watched, too.
Why it matters
Growth scans are point-in-time snapshots. Wombly adds the connective tissue: daily fetal heart-rate checks, automated movement counts and an expert on call for every question in between.
The science, in plain language
01
Structured maternal fetal movement counting from 28 weeks is associated with reduced stillbirth risk in high-risk pregnancies (BMC Pregnancy & Childbirth, 2018).
02
Third-trimester growth surveillance improves detection of small-for-gestational-age fetuses by ∼50% compared with fundal-height measurement alone (BJOG, 2019).

How it works
A home fetal Doppler for guided daily heart-rate checks from the third trimester.
An abdominal patch counts fetal movements automatically and streams to the centre.
Growth and anomaly scans scheduled and coordinated by your concierge.
What you get
Frequently asked
Yes. It uses the same low-power ultrasound as a clinic Doppler and is used under guided prompts.
From 28 weeks, which is when structured fetal-movement monitoring is recommended.
Do not panic — call the command centre. A clinician will guide you and, if needed, arrange a scan.
No. It complements them by watching what happens between scans.
