What is the normal fetal heart rate?

Sunday, 20. September 2009 15:59

Are you getting a very fast heart rate from your baby? This is to be expected. You baby’s heartbeat will sound much faster than your own heart rate. Normal fetal heart rate will range anywhere between 120 to 180 beats per minute, while the average adult heart rate is only 60 to 100 beats per minute. Some women have even described the sound of normal fetal heart rate to sound like horses galloping or a train starting.  Before using your baby heartbeat monitor, why don’t you have a listen of this video, it will help you find what you are supposed to look for.

You will see in this video what to expect when you are using a baby heartbeat monitor, and how the parents are excited and are relieved when hearing their baby.

Sunday, 21. June 2009 14:39

Many models of baby heartbeat monitors (also known as fetal doppler) can be found on the market nowadays. They can cost between $50 and up to $200. Those little devices allow pregnant women for over 10 weeks to listen live to the heartbeat of their baby. And the device is also very easy to use.

All you need is a battery, to start the device, put a little bit of gel and stick the “microphone” on mom-to-be belly to hear the heartbeat of the baby.

Often, the devices come with earphones and the us of a cable will allow mom and dad to connect it to their computer to record the sounds in a small file that can be sent to all the family and friends or uploaded to a blog or a website.

What people think:

Annie: I had a difficult beginning of pregnancy and to hear the heartbeat of our baby only once a month at the doctor’s office did not reassure me as much as I needed. I ordered a baby heartbeat monitor without much conviction it would work, but on the first day (after 2-3 clumsy attempts), I could finally hear his heartbeat! The future dad and myself are so happy to be able to repeat those magic moments anytime we want using the fetal doppler. The baby heartbeat monitor gives us proof that our little man is here, nestled comfortably in my belly! We expect this baby in 4 months and I know now that the rest of our pregnancy will be more peaceful for all of us 3!

Kelly: What a magical device! I was able to clearly hear the heartbeat at 10 weeks of pregnancy. At the beginning I had to look for it a little bit, I always managed to find it. The recording also works very well to a computer.

Melinda: Sooo cool! It wasn’t easy at the beginning to find the heartbeat, but after finding it, it was really comforting, especially that I am naturally very stressed out. This device is very simple to use and allows you to have more patience between each doctor appointment. I just love to her the boom-boom everyday!

What is a fetal doppler baby heartbeat monitor?

Sunday, 10. May 2009 1:01

  • 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.

Monitor your baby’s HeartBeat at home with a fetal doppler

Sunday, 10. May 2009 0:30

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. Many brands are available on the market, and we discuss in baby-heartbeat-monitor.com what you should be looking for when purchasing a fetal doppler baby heartbeat monitor.

How to use a fetal doppler baby heartbeat monitor

Saturday, 9. May 2009 22:02

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.
