When you are new to the game there can be a lot of unexpected things that are going on, and you don’t really know how to handle them. These things can often cause a lot of stress, which is definitely not a good thing for your baby. 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. This is a very safe way for you to monitor your baby and alleviate your stress.

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.

What is a normal heart rate for a fetus?

As mentioned just above a normal heart rate for a fetus is 120-180 bpm. As you can see this is a pretty large range. The heart rate that your baby heartbeat monitor shows up can vary according to what fetal movement has occured during the day. 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 is also knowledge that monitoring your babies heart rate can prevent miscarriage and decrease the percentage of it greatly.

Are they very expensive?

These monitors will range in price from higher quality to lower quality. The fact is that you can get quite a few functions that you may not need all of the features on a more expensive one, so you should just get a cheaper one. It all depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for custom baby gifts, this could be a great present, especially for a new mum.

Fetal doppler rental is also available if you cannot buy one.

Product Reviews

I received the fetal doppler in the mail yesterday and immediately put it to use. I am 10 weeks pregnant and was skeptical of such an inexpensive product working so early in my pregnancy. This is my first pregnancy and I get nervous since I am not experiencing many symptoms. This product didn’t come with a gel, as many others said, but I used lotion on my stomach. Within minutes, I was able to find the heartbeat and hear it loud and clear. There is minimal static with this doppler. I would strongly recommend this item to all pregnant women. I am not the type of person to ever write reviews, but since this worked so well for me, I wanted to encourage others to purchase it.

I read the other reviews before I bought this product and decided that the money was worth trying it out. The other reviews are correct that you will need some sort of lube (water, baby oil, doppler lube) etc. You will also need to be in a quiet room to hear the heart beat well. The product gets loud touching your belly so they can’t make the volume too much higher because when you move it around that noise will blast your ears off!! I found it helpful to put the entire doppler on my belly instead of just using the small circular part. I also used the recorder on the computer and it worked enough to please my Dad :) It sounds different on the computer than what you hear in the headphones but no big deal at all!! I am in love with this thing!!!

I recieved the doppler within about 3-4 days of ordering which was the first plus. I hadn’t bought the gel, but read another reivew saying that water would work fine. So, I put a little water on my abdomen and put the doppler on my stomach. I am not exaggerating at all when I say I picked up the amazing sound of her heartbeat within 10 seconds. In fact, every time I have used it I have found the hb within 30 seconds MAX! It is so clear and loud that even my children and husband have had no issue hearing it. (I will add that I was about 16 weeks along)

I got this product because this is my first pregancy and of course all the worry seems to get to you even though you try to keep your mind off it. The main reason why I got this is also because my husband is deployed and to be able to send him a sound file of the babies heart beat is a great feeling and he LOVED IT!!! when I first it i was 12 weeks I couldn’t hear the fetal heart beat but at 13 weeks i heard it clear as day!!! keep in mind though YOU CAN PICK UP YOUR OWN HEART BEAT!!! which is what i did at 12 weeks at 13 weeks I found the fetal heart beat and the sound was nothing like my heart beat I compared it to a little cho cho train and it brings a warmth to your heart that you never thought you could feel. It brings me peace of mind knowing that in between my appointments my little ones are doing great!!!
