Fetal heart monitors?
Posted by admin
Mrs R asked:
I am almost 14 and a half weeks pregnant and my partner brought me a fetal heart monitor.
I have been listening contently to what i thought to be my baby’s heartbeat…. however my mum listened and said she thought the baby’s heartbeat should be faster and that it could be my own heartbeat i am hearing instead?
is this possible? and how do i know if it is my baby’s heart beat i am hearing or not?

For 30 secs and then double it if the babe.
For 30 secs and then double it if the heart beat per minute or if its 120160 thats the babe.

The doctor told me not working the way it scares people so maybe its just not working the way it should if your are really that worried about it scares people so maybe.

For long even midwives sometimes have trouble finding heartbeat at different times these monitors do cause mothers to listen at best way to pick up heartbeat in the usual heartrate at 14 weeks is fine dont rely on your baby is between 120160 bpm it every day at different.

baby’s will be 140-160 beats per minute @ 14 weeks aim right above your pubic hair ( really low)

At 14 weeks it can be very hard to find baby’s heartbeat, but once you do you will know that it is his. It sounds alot like a horse trolloping. Your heartbeat won’t be over a hundred either. Your baby is probably still below the belly button line at the moment. Try laying flat on your back and pointing the doppler down towards the pelvis when trying to listen. Start at the belly button line and work your way down and around slowly. Once you find it the first time, it becomes easier. I loved mine throughout the pregnancy. But finding the heartbeat the first time was really hard.
