What the petition asks
There are apps that people can download that claim to record fetal heart rates via the microphone.. These apps, often which cost money to download, are dangerous resulting in false readings which may prevent women seeking help if they have an episode of reduced movement or bleeding.
After paying for two of these apps and downloading several free ones, many gave a fake reading of a fetal heart. I am not pregnant. This is incredibly dangerous for women who use this app to seek reassurance if they have an episode of reduced fetal movements or bleeding.
