How do you use a fetal heart monitor?

Posted by admin
CamMan’s Mommy asked:

I have bought one online and thought I was finding the heartbeat of my 11 week gestation fetus. I listened today and found it again but found the hearbeat on the exact same other side…..
I find the heartbeat next to my hip very low in pelvis area. First I was finding it easily on the right side, now Im finding it on the left side also. The doc confirmed that I am NOT having twins so is it arteries? What else could it be? is it not even the baby’s heart beat and mine possibly? THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
I just looked the brand I bought up and it does say can hear as early as 12 weeks… so guess it’s mine lol! Can hear the baby moving around though! THANKS
