How do you tell the difference between fetal heartbeat and fetal blood flow??

Posted by admin
Jen C asked:

I am 18.5 weeks pregnant and I have a fetal heart monitor at home. I can hear the fetal blood flow but I am not sure if I can hear the heartbeat. If there is good fetal blood flow does that mean the baby is perfectly fine? or should i keep looking around for the heartbeat. I could be crazy and be hearing the heartbeat its just so hard to tell so I wanted to know if the blood flow was good enough to hear.
