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).

Fetal & Baby Wellness
Your baby's wellbeing, tracked between every visit.
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
What the evidence says.
Growth-scan cadence matters.
Third-trimester growth surveillance improves detection of small-for-gestational-age fetuses by ~50% compared with fundal-height measurement alone (BJOG, 2019).

Frequently asked
Questions mothers ask us.
- Is the home fetal Doppler safe to use?
- Yes. It uses the same low-power ultrasound as a clinic Doppler and is used under guided prompts.
- When should I start using the movement patch?
- From 28 weeks, which is when structured fetal-movement monitoring is recommended.
- What if I can't find the heartbeat at home?
- Do not panic — call the command centre. A clinician will guide you and, if needed, arrange a scan.
- Does this replace my growth scans?
- No. It complements them by watching what happens between scans.
