The present disclosure discusses a mechanically stabilized sensor. The sensor is configured for intra-vaginal placement and can be used during labor and diagnostic procedures not associated with labor. The sensor can detect bioelectrical signals generated by the uterus and fetal heart. The mechanical stabilization of the sensor to the vaginal mucosa can reduce noise in the bioelectrical signals detected with the sensor. The sensor's stability enables long-term, intra-vaginal recordings to be made.
