• A fetal doppler baby heartbeat monitor is a device that is used to listen to the heartbeat of a baby during pregnancy.

• A fetal doppler baby heartbeat monitor provides a non-invasive way to detect and measure a baby heart rates during pregnancy.

• The way a baby heartbeat monitor works is based on the “doppler effect”, that refers to the variation of the sound pitch as the source moves toward or away from the listener. A good example would be the sound of a car or a train driving by.

• The “baby heartbeat” heard throught the fetal doppler monitor is not the actual sound of the baby heart, but a representation of the fetal heart. This is done through the probe that record a series of short sound pulses and convert them into an audible sound to the human ear.

Becoming a mom is a wonderful event in the life of all women. The steps between pregnancy and maternity and the birth of a child can however be full of stress and worries. This is why there are a wide range of products to help you go through your pregnancy. One of them is the Fetal Doppler Baby Heartbeat Monitor. Baby heartbeat monitors are ultrasound devices used to measure the heartbeat of babies as early as ten weeks old into the pregnancy.

A fetal doppler baby heartbeat monitor will allow the parents and family to connect with the soon-to-be-born baby. It provides a reassurance to the parents that their baby heartbeat is normal, and that the child is healthy and safe throughout the pregnancy.

Baby heartbeat monitors use the “doppler effect”. Briefly this refers to the variation of the sound pitch of a sound source depending on if they move towards or away from the listener. For example, the sound of a car or a train driving by is good example.

Fetal dopplers are used by doctors not only to monitor babies in pregnant women, but also in a panoply of medical applications. Throughout her pregancy, the soon-to-be mom will have a few checkup at the doctors office, including monitoring of the baby heartbeat with a fetal doppler. With today’s technology, fetal doppler are available for parents to use at home, for a more regular check up on their little ones.

Using a fetal doppler baby heartbeat monitor is easy.

Here is a quick intro on how to use a fetal doppler baby heartbeat monitor.

1. Start by pulling up your shirt or the clothing you have, so you can access your belly.

2. Take your ultrasound gel, and apply a small amount at the beginning. Put about a teaspoon on and around your belly button. You can add more later if you need, just to help pick up the sound wave for the heartbeat.

3. Take the probe, the end of the fetal doppler baby heartbeat monitor, the part of the device that you will apply to the belly to pick up the heartbeat.

4. Turn on the machine and the volume.

5. Place the probe in the ultrasound gel.

6. Let the probe sit around your belling button and move it around until you get a strong signal from baby’s heartbeat. The average fetal heart rate is 120-180 bpm.

7. If you don’t find the heartbeat right away, angle the probe in different ways to help pick up the signal better. Depending of the position of the baby, it can take many tries to get the heartbeat. However, be gentle and angle the probe of the fetal doppler baby heartbeat monitor slowly for optimal sound output.
