What is a fetal stethoscope?
Fetal stethoscope allows people to listen to a fetal heart rhythm, starting with pregnancy in about half of the pregnancy. It is important to realize that the heart rhythm is not always audible with the stethoscope and the non -healing of its non -hearing does not necessarily cause alarm.

Some expect parents to also like to use during pregnancy. The pipe set connects to headphones that enlarge the sound of the heart rhythm, which allows care providers to collect information about heart rhythm and speed. For the use of a fetal stethoscope, the provider of care locates the back of the child and builds the bell before listening to the heart rhythm. It may be necessary to move the device to get the best sound.
