Nothing can be more exciting than the arrival of a new born in to your life. For a female this is the time she feels the most feminine with the joys of motherhood. The feeling of the little one kicking inside the new mums-to-be's womb is one of the most thrilling moments. Now you will be able to share with their friends on social networking sites like Facebook. Thanks to the stretchy pregnancy belt.

This latest creation is a brainchild of PhD student Corey Menscher, of New York University. Termed the 'Kick-Bee', it uses sensors to track the movement of the foetus in the womb that will allow expectant mothers to automatically post daily progress reports of their child on the Internet.

The signals are send automatically to the computer every time the baby kicks with messages like:'"I kicked mummy at 11.38am." The belt has sensors that generates a tiny electrical current whenever tapped by the baby's movements.

The signals are transmitted directly to the website using wireless Bluetooth technology by the microcontroller in the belt. "As a baby grows inside the womb, pregnant mothers are constantly aware of its presence, mostly through its movements," the CourierMail quoted Menscher as saying.

"As an expectant father, I wanted to create a device that would give me a chance to be aware of our baby's movements. "With the Kickbee, I intend to extend a baby's minute contact with the world beyond the mother's body by sensing these movements and transmitting them," he added.

His wife's pregnancy inspired Corey Menscher to go ahead and design the 'KickBee'.
