Abstrakt		The aim of the investigation was to off-line compare parameters of uterine EMG signals recorded during pregnancy in humans and sheep. Uterine corpus EMG recording sessions were performed in humans and in sheep. Sixty-five women underwent uterine corpus EMG recording sessions using abdominal surface skin electrodes. Six sheep underwent multiple EMG recording sessions using implanted electrodes. RMS and MF values were calculated from EMG signals. According to the different origins of EMG signals, RMS values were normalised (nRMS). Differences between human and sheep EMG signals were assessed by comparing both parameters of EMG signals in different periods of pregnancy. The trends of nRMS values approaching EDD are similar for both groups; they show a similar average increase. MF values are different. In the human group they show a slight average decrease while in the sheep group they show a slight increase with approaching EDD. EMG activity in humans and sheep is similar in parameter nRMS and different in parameter MF.
