Fine: A heart rate monitor should not cause any problems with a pregnancy at any gestational age. The question is why she is wearing it. As long as she isn't doing extremely vigorous exercise and isn't using it in place of a monitor recommended by her doctor, it should be fine. Hope this helps. Best wishes to your wife and the baby.

13 weeks pregnant and woke up this morning with some light brown spotting. No cramps, no red blood and had an ultrasound 6 days ago that showed a healthy baby boy. Do I need to go to my OB for a check up today? Or should I just monitor the situation?
