The fetal heart rate, will be affected by your level of stress, and keeping it down is imperetive to your babies health. Low birth weight and the risk of premature birth will increase. A good way to avoid this stress is to use a baby heartbeat monitor to monitor your fetus’ heart rate. These are otherwise known as a fetal Doppler.

How do I get the babies heart rate?

Sometimes a baby heartrate monitor will have a display and that will show up for you, the better and newer ones basically all have it. This is the easiest way. However for ones without the display, you can simply hear the heart beats and count them for the minute. That will give you the heart rate.

Will I have a problem distinguishing my heart beat from the baby’s heartbeat?

No. You won’t have a problem. If you read the instructions and use the baby heartbeat monitor properly then you will hear only the baby’s one. However you should know that the baby’s heart beat will be within the range from 120 to 180 bpm, whereas yours should be around 60-100 bpm. However, as with most things, there is a lot of variability and there is a large rnage of heart beats amongst different people of different activity and health levels.

The heart rate of your baby will also be different during different stages of your pregnancy. The baby’s heart rate will be more consistent as the preganancy goes on. You should get regular checkups and ask your doctor about these things as well and a baby heartbeat monitor should be only used as a way to check up for your own peace of mind.

Can my own stress affect the fetal heart rate?

Definitely. Everything you do affects your baby. There is no question if you have stress it can lead to an elevation in your baby’s heart rate.

Is it actually important to monitor my babies heart rate with a baby heartbeat monitor?

You can also just have this done at the doctor, and this is the same way the doctor will monitor it to check if it is normal. However you can’t be at the doctor everyday, and if you are stressed about your baby, which many mothers are, then this is a great way to monitor it. You can listen as early as 8 weeks in, and it can help you monitor by yourself if your baby is developing properly and healthily.

It has been shown through research that cortisol, the stress hormone, is found in large amounts even in the seventh week of pregnancy. When the levels of cortisone are high in the mothers blood, they are also high in the amniotic fluid, there is a direct correlation of your stress levels, to what your baby will feel.

Cortisol isn’t always bad and can help your body deal with a stressful situation. However, long term effect of stress onto the fetus is relatively unknown. In adults, it can lead to illness, depression, exhaustion and many more conditions. This of course then can greatly affect your health. Some symptoms including high blood pressure, ulcers and heart disease.

There has been so research that has found that the cognitive ability of the baby is affected, early and later in life. Babies that were exposed to high levels of cortisol during pregnancy has much lower IQs at 18 months old. This is a big problem and can be avoided. It has also been suggested that a high level of cortisol in a fetus can lead to the development of attention deficit disorder, which can leave your child with a lot of learning problems later in life

In saying that, a little bit of stress won’t hurt your baby. Just because you feel a bit bad one day doesn’t mean the worst. You should do things to lower your stress, and one of those things is to monitor your baby. Heart rate is a great indicator of stress, as when it is higher the heart rate is generally also elevated.
