Finally! You Too Can Monitor Your Baby Heart Beat Right From

Finally! You Too Can Monitor Your Baby Heart Beat Right From
Your Home.
By John Wellington

Nothing is more exciting than the joy of expecting a baby! In
fact many expectant mothers and fathers can’t simply wait to
hear the sound of their child’s heartbeat. Today parents who
can’t wait and parents who want to share the wonderful
experience of listening to the beating sound can buy a baby
heart monitor known as a fetal Doppler.

In short, a fetal Doppler uses sound waves to detect the sound
of the infant’s cardio activity. The sound waves bounce off of
the little baby’s heart and are sent back to the listener. Also
known as high frequency waves, the baby heart monitor sends
these sounds, into a hearing device attached to the machine.
Since the high frequency waves don’t travel very well it is
necessary to use a gel or oil to help things along. After which
the sound conductor is applied directly to the mother’s tummy
and the baby heart monitor is placed over the area and moved
until sound is detected.

The little heartbeat is amplified through an earphone and
speaker built right into the baby heart monitor. On wearing the
earphones one can hear the infant’s beats and enjoy every
precious moment, at least until someone else wants a turn.

The baby heart monitor is very safe to use, it has been tested
and released by the United States governmental agencies that are
responsible for such regulations. There has been no negative
affects found in over thirty years of its use. The baby heart
monitor is the same technology used in hospitals day after day
on thousands and thousands of patients. While some may argue
that there are wonderful benefits for using the device others
think that too many sound waves may not be good for the
developing fetus. The Food and Drug Administration recommends
that you talk to your doctor and get permission before using a
home baby heart monitor. This is always good practice.

While the baby heart monitor can be quite a costly investment
for such a short-term item a lot of parents choose to rent one.
This option of renting a baby heart monitor is much cheap and
the parents can always change their minds and purchase the unit
if they later want one. The renting option is an appealing
feature offered by the manufacturers and the option to purchase
the item gives parents even more incentive to try the product.
After all, majority of families have a baby in their future
plans, no matter if it is immediate or extended. A baby heart
monitor is always a wonderful item to have!
