PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an unborn baby state-detecting maternity belt allowing a pregnant woman to stick a plurality of electrodes to desired positions of a two-dimensionally developed abdominal part by oneself regardless of a bodily shape thereof or months pregnant, and allowing a decider in a distant place to decide a state of an unborn baby such as the heartbeat of the unborn baby, and to provide an unborn baby state detection method using the same.SOLUTION: A frame 10 includes: a pair of support parts 11, 11 along a nearly up-and-down direction of the pregnant woman and an arch part 12 separating the pair of support parts 11, 11 from the abdominal part of the pregnant woman in an arch state, and connecting the pair of the support parts 11, 11. An electrode support body 30 can be deformed such that the electrode support body 30 abuts the abdominal part of the pregnant woman, and is supported between the pair of support parts 11, 11 by elastic members 40 right and left thereof. An electrode 20 includes a reference electrode 22 supported by an attachment 50, and contacting with the back side of the pregnant woman. The electrode 20 includes a weak-adhesion contact member.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】 妊婦が、その体型や妊娠月に拘わらず、二次元的に展開された腹部の所望位置に一人で複数電極を密着させ、胎児の心拍をはじめとする胎児の状態を遠隔地の判定者において判定することの可能な胎児状態検出用腹帯及びこれを用いた胎児状態検出方法を提供すること。【解決手段】 フレーム10は、妊婦の略上下方向に沿う一対の支持部11,11と、この一対の支持部11,11の間を妊婦の腹部からアーチ状に離隔させて連結するアーチ部12とを備える。電極支持体30は妊婦の腹部に沿うように変形可能であり且つその左右で弾性部材40により一対の支持部11,11間に支持される。電極20は取付具50に支持されて妊婦の背中側に接触する基準電極22をさらに備える。電極20は弱粘着性の接触部材を備えている。【選択図】 図1
