Tummy Shield has been in the making for the past few years. The inventor is an Australian engineer and a father of four young children who during the pregnancy of their first child, while driving with his wife who was about 7 months pregnant, encountered a traffic situation in which he had to swerve to avoid an accident. That action resulted in the car hitting the curb and coming to a stop. Nobody was injured at this incident, but his wife had some minor laceration to her tummy, and she commented when asked if she is OK, “I am fine, but I am worried about the baby." The pregnancy progressed to full term and a beautiful little girl was born. At birth everything seemed normal, but the parents noticed that the child did not progress mentally and physically. They sought medical advice. They were advised that their child has some form of a brain injury, and the doctor commented that “it could have happened anytime during the pregnancy”, but the parents immediately knew exactly when it happened. When the parents mentioned this incident to the neurologist, he commented that “this could be the likely cause of your daughter’s brain injury."
