Question

I am likely to give birth on Shabbat. Is it permissible for me to bring my pregnancy monitoring card on Shabbat, or is it considered muktzeh?

Answer

Shalom and a healthy delivery

A pregnancy card is considered muktzeh, but it is permissible to carry it for a permitted use, such as showing it to a doctor. Additionally, the card contains information that could be crucial for decisions related to pikuach nefesh for you and the child, and any action is permitted to prevent pikuach nefesh.
