• 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.
