A method of monitoring uterine activity in a non-human mammal comprising the steps of:
- noninvasively positioning on the mammal a pressure-sensitive sensor for detecting uterine contractions in the mammal, the position of the sensor being chosen on the mammal where the uterine contractions may be externally sensed
- connecting the sensor to an electronic device for recording the uterine contractions of the mammal;
- and
- periodically recording the uterine contractions of the mammal using the electronic device.
