When You Will Hear These Sounds
The fetal heartbeat, kicks and hiccups may be heard from the beginning
of your third trimester. You will need to listen very carefully for your baby's
heartbeat as it may be extremely difficult to hear it over the beating of your
own heart. The sound of your own bowels may also interfere with your
ability to hear the heartbeat. While the Prenatal Heart Listener® is specially
designed to tune out these sounds, they can still get in the way. This is why
the best time to listen is 3 to 4 hours after a meal and when you are relaxed
and have a slower heartbeat.
Remember, as your baby grows and gets stronger, so do the sounds
she creates. You will also become more familiar with the sounds so they will
be easier to identify.
Prenatal Heart Listener® vs. Doppler
You will notice that the sounds you hear through the Prenatal Heart
Listener® are different from those you hear at your doctor's office. This is
because your doctor probably uses Doppler ultrasound equipment which
creates electronic noise based on movement. The Prenatal Heart Listener®,
however, is designed to amplify the sounds naturally by using the absolutely
safe Bell stethoscope method of amplification. Again, the heartbeat heard
through the Prenatal Heart Listener® sounds more like the soft, rapid
beating of a drum, while the Doppler sound is more of a gushing noise.
Please keep in mind that it will take a little practice to pick up this faint
sound so listen very carefully.
Record Your Baby's Sounds & Your Own Heartbeat
With our recording cable and your own recorder you can record your baby's
sounds. We also encourage you to record your own heartbeat prior to your
baby being born. You will then be able to play it back to your newborn after
birth which may have a calming and soothing effect.
