A device (100) for monitoring movement of a baby during labour is provided, comprising a movement sensing unit (210) for determining movement of a fetal scalp electrode relative to the device, and an output unit (220) arranged to output movement information indicative of the movement of the fetal scalp electrode. The movement sensing unit may comprise a rotatable member such as a wheel (410) for contacting the fetal scalp electrode (FSE) and rotating in response to linear movement thereof. In some embodiments, the device includes an optical movement sensing device for optically sensing linear movement of the FSE and outputting an electrical signal in response thereto. Preferably, the output unit (220) is arranged to wirelessly output the movement information.
