Abstract
A garment shaped to approximate the abdomen of an expectant mother having a layered laminated conductive material adhered to the garment is disclosed. A portion of the laminated material is configured to directly contact the skin of the maternal abdomen to create an electrical signal connection. A portion of the layered laminated material comprises a stretchable circuit assembly having a substrate with an adhesive layer, a thermoplastic layer, a conductive layer and an encapsulating layer. A monitor controller is disposed about the garment and is configured to receive electrical signals from the circuit assembly and transmit information related to the electrical signals to a remote location.
